Now the werewolf has DR 15/Silver This means that a 1st level warrior with a greatsword 2d6 and 16 strength +4 two handed has a negligible chance of damaging the creature without a critical or a silver weapon (expensive at 1st level).Revised werewolf option 1: DR 10/Silver a mid level, higher than it propbably will be with the revised rules but certainly not 15. Now that 1st level warrior with a greatsword 2d6 and 16 strength +4 two handed has a 50/50 chance of damaging the creature with each hit with a standard weapon. Revised werewolf option 2: DR 5/Silver the lowest level, more likely for a low level CR. Now that 1st level warrior with a greatsword 2d6 and 16 strength +4 two handed is guarunteed to damage the werewolf with each hit of a standard weapon. I believe the current system better reflects the myth of the werewolf needing silver to kill it. Without silver the average person or town guard is unable to take on this beast without the help of a hero. Yes our higher level heros are able to kill it easily since they have the proper weapons, but then they are the heros. Is there a minor lack of flavor because the heros use a +1 weapon instead, yes, but not when compared to what average folk need. In the new system give a regular two handed weapon to the 1st level town guard and he can kill the werewolf himself or with a friend. No silver needed at all. This once feared creature is now able to be handled by the town guard without regard to the flavor of silver at all. Additionally our heros are now out of a job as well since the 1st level town guard can deal with the problem themselves. With the new system we have now lost the flavor of silver need to solve the problem and reason for our heros to be involved at all.</blockquote>
