[QUOTE="ced1106, post: 568736, member: 7551"] Feh! Let him have his fun. The DMG has rules for Monsters as PCs, which include a level equivalent. For example, a Werebear is "Class levels +4". That means you dock the player four levels and he becomes a Werebear. Alternately, design a lycanthrope Prestige Class: Instead of simply gaining crunchy bits, require his PC to gain levels and acquire the crunchy bits he needs to be a lyncanthrope Prestige Class; while he's gaining these levels, he must also properly roleplay. The Prestige Class should be **weaker** than gaining levels in a standard class -- cite game balance issues, if you even decide to tell him how the class works! (If there's a Lycanthrope d20 supplement, have the player buy it. "Hey, it's not my idea for you to play a lycanthrope. Why do I have to buy the rules?" (: I **like** the LE rat guild idea. Read X-Men comics? The LE bad-guy mutants are always recruiting their fellow kind. "Join us or die", hehehe. You could also have fun letting the **other players** play more powerful wererat NPCs. Evil is fun. Edit: Hey, look what I found! Ask 'em for a review copy and promise you'll playtest it!
