Mad Beast
The curse of lycanthropy is akin to an illness that bore deep in the mind of those afflicted. Some hold the urges in, trying to be model citizens during the day and locking themselves in at night. Others revel in their urges, becoming a serial killer at night and using the veil of innocence as a shield.

Mutilating Strike* (Ex): A mad beast can use her superior power and beastly nature cripple her targets, allowing her to quickly finish it off... or perhaps to toy with it further. A 4th level mad beast gains the mutilating strike unique slayer talent. A creature that takes sneak attack damage from a mad beast must make a successful a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + 1/2 the mad beast’s class level + her Intelligence modifier) or be left Staggered for 1 round and take 1 point of Strength or Dexterity damage of the mad beast's choice.
