does simply touching silver harm a lycanthrope, or does it come from a wound inflicted by silver?
It used to - at least in BD&D :) - but there's no mention of it in the SRD.

I was thinking that a brief swipe with a claw etc would be okay but a bite (or any other attack that uses a sensitive part of the body - such as Swallow Whole) would take damage, as would the continuous contact needed for a grapple.

Hi all,

Just checking in on this thread. Great work on the phanaton, chevall, and actaeon!

I'd like to add the Darkwing, Gyerian, Hutaakan, Kna, Lupin, Mek, Pegataur, Shark-kin, and Wyrd (all from the Mystara MC) to the queue.

Mortis: Thanks!

Filby: Lupins were in Dragon's "Winning Races" series, but weren't statted out. I think though, that they're going to be in the Dragon Compendium, which was supposed to come out today. I'm not happy about the delay ....

Effects of Silver on BD&D Lycanthropes

BOZ,

This is going a little off the topic, but this is what PC4 Night Howlers has to say about the effects of silver on lycanthropes.

Silver reacts with the virus in a werecreature's blood, causing a rapid and dangerous rise in temperature.
The effects of silver in a wound are instantaneous. Even a thin coating of silver on a normal blade can do damage, but the silver must be nearly pure (sterling silver, high-quality silver jewelry, or unadulterated silver coins). The DM determines the purity of any silver - silver alloys may do only half-damage.
The mere touch of silver on unbroken skin hurts werecreatures as well. Any werecreature in contact with silver for a full turn (10 minutes) must make a saving throw vs. poison or break out in an ugly, painful rash (use the were-form's saving throws). This rash, accompanied by a fever, lasts 1d4 days for each turn the werecreature was in contact with the silver. All ability and skill checks, combat rolls, and saving throws are at -2 while the rash remains. Even if the saving throw is successful, the silver feels white-hot against the werecreature's skin.
Gloves and other clothing protect werecreatures from silver poisoning. The allergy cannot be cured without curing the lycanthropy as well.
Optional Rule: At 15th level, the effects of the rash are reduced to -1. At 25th level the rash is painful and irritating, but can be ignored with a successful Constitution check.

Even if we don't use my silver armor idea for standard campaigns, I think I'll use it for my Mystara campaigns. :)

Regards,
Mortis

I'd ditch Hide and Move Silently, as the armor check penalty from its plate mail (-6) will essentially nullify them. If we make it masterwork (which I think we should), it will be only -5.

BOZ - Also note that max Dex to AC will be +1, regardless of what score we give it.
