[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 349177, member: 2209"] Here is what I think will happen if you continue on your quest without getting cured. You will hit a combat and think, hey, I've got weapons and not much else, what can I do? You then might think it will be a good tactical idea to change into rat form. Especially if your character does not have in depth knowledge about lycanthropy as written and by the book. Once you voluntarily change your alignment automatically changes to that of the werecreature (Lawful evil for the wererat). No warning, no save. You might then consider switching to a new god or philosophy so you can use cure lights again. Alternatively, the party might realistically leave and try to get cured and make the best of it. The evil grows unchecked but you can't win them all. Let the church know about it, say you gave it your best shot, but it is beyond your abilities. If you can't completely defeat the big bad evil, you can still do good in other little ways. As a character, assuming you get cured of the mummy rot and out of the dungeon, you can either continue as a wizard and rebuild your spellbook leaning heavily upon advancement for the free spells, or go all multiclass and use your wizardry for wands only and rebuild your spell book as you can but consider it a minor aspect of the character.
