[edit] Moonlight Warrior
Viewing the moon that night, the boy stood in the circle of blood and chalk, surrounded by robed figures, each one repeating a different chant. Their chant steadily grew louder and louder, the circle around the boy began to glow a bright blue. It illuminated the boy, his body beginning to heat up, sweat slowly dripping from his pores. Each robed figure stepped forward and pressed two fingers to his chest. They traced a crescent moon across his chest, each time, the spot where it was traced became more prominent. Soon, the moon was imprinted onto his chest, as if tattooed there. The robed figures stepped back, observing as the boy's new marking began to glow as well. All of the light then removed itself from the circle and the boy's chest, converging in front of him as a small orb of light. The orb then, with the sound of crackling lightning, grew limbs, sprouting itself into a large torso. The limbs formed into long and muscular arms and legs; the hands with long, razor sharp claws; the feet in the shape of large wolf's feet. The head came forth after; a large wolf's head, staring intently at the boy. The boy, frozen in fear and excitement, stared back at the spectral wolf as it's jaw opened. Not a sound came out as the wolf faded away, the light pouring itself into the boy. The experience was painless, and felt as if a cool liquid had been poured into every bone of his body. "You are now a moonlight warrior" spoke the robed figure at the head of the circle.

[edit] Class Features
<-fluff about class features->. All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A moonlight warrior is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, medium, and light) and shields (not including tower shields).
Spectral Werewolf Companion (Su): When a moonlight warrior is initiated, their soul is bonded with the spirit of a werewolf. The ritual takes a day to prepare, and half an hour to perform. At the climax of the ritual, a spirit of the werewolf appears before the initiate and bonds with them. From then on, the initiate can summon the werewolf to aid them in battle. However, the connection can only be held for so long before the werewolf must be pulled back into the initiates. At first, an initiate can only summon the werewolf for 1 round plus their Cha modifier. Afterwards, the werewolf cannot be summoned for another 1d6 hours. However, the moonlight warrior's connection to their werewolf will slowly grow stronger. At level 3, and every third level afterwards, the werewolf spirit gains another two hit die, as well as a +1 to their defense, and can stay for another 2d6 rounds. At 12th level, the werewolf begins to grow even stronger, gaining three hit die, and their defense bonus becomes a +2, and is able to stay for another 3d6 rounds.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a moonlight warrior can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless moonlight warrior does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a moonlight warrior can react to danger before their senses would normally allow them to do so. They retains their Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if they are caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, they still loses their Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a moonlight warrior already has uncanny dodge from a different class they automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.
Synchronous Strike (Ex): At 5th level, a moonlight warrior and their werewolf companion gain better synchronization, able to strike at the same time. By both giving up one attack, the moonlight warrior and their werewolf may each make an attack on two different targets or just one target at the same time, even if it is not one of their turns. When making this attack, both the moonlight warrior and werewolf gain a +2 to their attack, a +4 to damage, and their critical range doubles. They may us this every 1d4 rounds.
Quick Strike (Ex): Moonlight warriors are renowned for their ability to strike without warning, summoning their werewolves in almost split seconds. At 6th level, once a day, a moonlight warrior can summon their werewolf as a swift action to make a single attack on a current target. Afterwards, the moonlight warrior can either dissipate their companion, or let him stay as normal. The number of times a moonlight warrior can do this per day increases once every other level after that, at levels 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex):A moonlight warrior of 8th level or higher can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking them, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does. If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.
'Dual Power Attack (Ex): In one fell swoop, a moonlight warrior and their companion can destroy an opponent. With this ability, the moonlight warrior and his werewolf may give up an attack and make a single attack on a one or two targets. With this attack, they may take a -5 to their attAck and add +5 to their damage rolls. Also while making this attack, the moonlight warrior and his companion have their critical range tripled. If they roll a critical on this attack, the extra damage is then increased +15. They may use this ability every 1d3
Moonlight Power (Su): At 13th level, a moonlight warrior begins developing powers whenever night falls.
