Message: <blockquote data-quote="Forrester" data-source="post: 567485" data-attributes="member: 1279">I'm confused about those taking Outlanders to task for making the fighter/wererat go nuts and attack the party. It says in the MM that the check to resist an involuntary change is DC25, and the check to return to humanoid form is DC20 or DC25 (depending on the moon). I doubt this fighter is going to make ANY of these checks. It also says (p. 219) that "no symptoms appear until the first night of the next full moon. On that night, the afflicted character involuntarily assumes animal form and becomes a ravening beast". The "ravening beast" part certainly suggests that he's going to involuntarily attack the party. Note also that he will turn into ANIMAL form, not hybrid form (so he'll turn into a two-foot long rat!) Outlanders, do you have any idea how much fun you can have with this? ANY time he takes damage after the first transformation, he'll turn into a rat (and all of his armor will drop off of him -- this isn't poly self) unless he makes the impossible-for-him DC25 check.If he somehow manages to turn back (DC25 or DC20), he'll be a naked human, his gear in a pile on the floor or around him. Play it like it says in the MM, and he'll be BEGGING for a Remove Disease spell soon enough <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.</blockquote>
