Hey guys, I desperately need a hand. I've been playing in a DnD 5e campaign for the past few months as an Order of the Lycan Blood Hunter, and enjoying it. Very recently, the group made a decision to make the switch to Pathfinder, and while the players who are playing the normal classes (paladin, bard, cleric) made the change with minor confusion. I, on the other hand, am totally at a loss! There are a lot of classes and archetypes that almost fit, but don't quite hit the mark. Since I'm a Lycan, the melee hybrid transformation form is intrinsic to the way the character functions, and deeply intwined in the plot of the game. Is there an efficient way to make something similar enough to pass, or will we have to intervene with homebrew? Thanks!
EDIT: I've been considering some sort of inquisitor/ranger multiclass but I'm unsure how to balance natural attacks and weapon attacks as I did in 5e. It might be that I can't!

Been a while since I read the class but as you said, a lot of options kinda do it.
In truth, the partial shifting aspect of it might not be the hardest to emulate (for example, simply being a skinwalker sorta does that on its own, and can even somewhat fit thematically), so the question is more what else you want to do beyond that.
A Barbarian, Shifter, 2/3 caster or other will play very differently while being close enough.
Of course, if you're actually switching to PF2 rather than 1e, that mostly limits you to Barbarian.
