[QUOTE="Felix, post: 855084, member: 3929"] Emotional? You decide. My PC, a forsaker, contracted lycanthropy. After the session I contracted it I talked to the DM about going with it; whether or not my character could do the change. I liked the munchkin aspects of the werewolf, and thought I'd keep the template and seek a way to control my CE tencancies during the full moon. Enter new player and his PC, a cleric. My character lets him know right off the bat that any spells cast upon me will not be seen as favors (re: forsakers don't like spells). We go adventuring to cure a town of lycanthropy. And we discover that I have the disease. So we look for ways to get around this, but I won't let cleric and his scrolls near me to provide a solution. Time passes and we meet up with the Werewolf protogenetors, who are Good beings. They say that for the party to succeed in our mission, one of us needs to change to a hybrid wolfman. We say "ok". They cast a spell and I change into hybrid form, becoming CE. I'm hungry and eat my horse. A second spell is cast, of the "Calm Emotions" variety. My werewolf sits there peacefully with a contented look on his face. Nobody does anything, waiting for something to happen. Then the cleric rushes up and casts remove curse on me. My character gets pissed becasue he still doesn't like having spells cast on him (forsaker) and growls. My party attacks me. I start beating them up. Until the end of that round when I am cured of the curse of lycanthropy thanks to the cleric's spell. I'd wanted that for the future of my character, and it's frustrating expecially as now we don't have a werewolf to use to complete the mission. Long story short, I purposely contract lycanthropy again to save someone else from having to become a werewolf, "my repsonsibility" and all that. We go do the mission. Yay, a success. I do what I need to do, and the party attacks me anyway. (I was in hybrid form and CE again. But still doing the mission. [i]Sigh.[/i] Misunderstood.) During the mission, I leaned over to the new player and said "hey man, no worries about the scroll business, but I kinda want to keep the lycanthrope template, so could you help me out here a bit?" I thought, well, that's that. Then we saw the werewolf protogenetors again. They said good job, and cast a spell on me. (This spell removes the curse part of lycanthropy, but not the template. Basically, I get werewolf powers and an ECL, but I have to walk a paladin's tightrope of staying Good. Commit an Evil or Neutral act and I immediately turn CE and NPC. That kind of spell.) My character passes out. (The DM hands me a note saying "you can choose the template, or have the curse removed althgether") The elder werewolves say "He's cured", the cleric says "I cast Remove Curse". GGGAAARRRRR! Maybe it doesn't seem it, but it was frustrating to have a player try to stop the character progression the DM and I had worked out. Especially a new player at that. [/QUOTE]
