[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 262048, member: 259"] A couple of points. When the lycanthrope template is applied to a creature, the creature's type changes to "shapeshifter," right? So if you want to find out whether someone is infected, simply cast "hold person" on her. :D Cheesy as all getout, but I think it works. And while I believe the lycanthrope is under DM control, this is a place to tread carefully. If you take control of a normally good PC and have her go on a slaughter, the game may become not very fun for the player. Be considerate of your players' fun; if you want to have the lycanthrope go on a rampage, you may want to talk to the player first, out of game. I had exactly this situation come up in my game a few months ago. The player was really unhappy with the situation until I assured him out of game that his character was not now a murderer of innocents. Instead, I played up the cowardly nature of wererats: a new wererat especially has no reason to know that she is invulnerable to normal weapons, and so is likley to act like a scared cunning rat for awhile.
