[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9643999, member: 6906980"] We're all just expressing opinions here. In my opinion immunity to non-magical weapons does not work well in D&D. Either it's an insurmountable obstacle or it's meaningless. What works in movies or books works because lycanthropes are unique creatures and the protagonists of the stories will get access to silver and aren't actually in danger until they get access. I have no idea what you're talking about with the controlling DM tangent. One of my issues is that pushing a werewolf off a cliff accomplishes nothing other than delaying the werewolf's return, something that I've seen while playing when the fighter didn't have magic or silver weapons. Collapse the ceiling? Same thing. If the werewolf can dig their way out they are completely undamaged. I allow and encourage plenty of out-of-the-box solutions but immunity to non-silver or magical damage is not a challenge as far as I'm concerned, it just means certain characters are irrelevant to a fight until the moment they pick up the "correct" weapon and then completely ignore the immunity.
