Description

Lycanthropes are were-creatures, particularly those in whom the disease permits assumption of a hybrid form of the human and animal. They cannot be hit by normal weapons; only silver or magical weapons inflict damage on them. If any character is brought below 50% hit points by a lycanthrope, the character will become a lycanthrope himself.

Werewolves are the traditional Lycanthropes seen in horror movies. They are often only affected by silver or magical weapons, and are often humanoid—except for during a full moon, and so on.
