| Jun 19, 2020 at 18:50 | comment | added | Slagmoth | @Cubic One of the main reasons I treat vampirism and lycanthropy as possession. Solves a lot of issues with that pesky alignment issue while still holding true to the main idea of both. | |
| Jun 19, 2020 at 18:43 | comment | added | Cubic | @HellSaint Point taken, though I deliberately didn't mention alignment because I have few good things to say about alignment. In particular, I have seen the example of Lycanthropy-induced alignment change and it did nothing. | |
| Jun 19, 2020 at 18:38 | comment | added | HellSaint | Werewolves, in particular, are Chaotic Evil, so yeah, they pretty much become murderous crazy wolves by the rules. | |
| Jun 19, 2020 at 18:37 | comment | added | HellSaint | Actually, it is kinda spelt out in the rules. " lf the character embraces the curse, his or her alignment becomes the one defined for the lycanthrope. The DM is free to decide that a change in alignment places the character under DM control until the curse of lycanthropy is removed. " | |
