I'm going to be starting a dnd group soon and one of my players is hoping to be a werebear. So I wanted to keep him on par with the rest of the party, level wise, so I did a google search for a werebear class and found a neat template on the WotC site. But I'm having a little trouble understanding it. Pretty much I'm wondering if the template goes on another class or is its own class. Also whether it has its own LA. I'm sure someone can explain this to me.
