If he wants his monster to take half damage from peircing, he can do it.Why couldn't he make a monster that can only be beaten effectively with silver ? Or mistletoe if he wants ? Why every monster that looks like a standard D&D werewolf would have to work the same way ? I as a player, expect my DM to surprise me with opponents. I don't want to know how the monster "works".  The player was expected the monster to use some rule mechanics, and was wrong. Even if it was his character expecting something from a monster, he also could have been wrong. I wouldn(t want to play in an environment where I can be sure about what I'm facing the first time I'm facing it.  Chacal</blockquote>
