Giving at least disadvantage to saving against any sort of charm effect by Strahd would be thematic. (Or perhaps only while in Wolf or Hybrid form: give the character a choice between giving in to the wolf and staying human and in control.)You can present this to the player by telling him that whilst his character is in Hybrid or Wolf form, he can feel the presence of his Alpha in the back of his head (Strahd looking through his eyes.) When the party meet Strahd, make the point that his wolf instincts see Strahd as his worthy alpha.I think that a lot of how best to handle the lycanthropy will depend upon how you think the player will regard it. Are they going to ignore the curse aspects of becoming a beast and just revel in the combat potential of werewolf invulnerability, or are they going to try to retain control and play it out?</blockquote>
