Lycanthropy and weapon use

[Camarath]

Allow me to hijack this thread just a bit. In a recent game, a Glaive-wielding dwarf barbarian got turned into a werewolf. I wasn't aware of the rules for lycanthropes using weapons, so I said he could keep using it until he dropped it, at which point I ruled that he was too concerned with tearing foes apart (lycanthropic rage) to pick it back up. So, was this wrong?

If he was an afflicted lycanthrope then he would assume Animal form as the result of an involuntarily change so could not wield any weapons. If he was in his Hybrid form as the result of a voluntary change or because he is a natural lycanthrope then he would be able to wield any weapons he had.
