[QUOTE="Magus_Jerel, post: 193532, member: 3940"] 1. I would think hybrid - not animal. The text is a bit ambiguous as the MM's "control shape" says one thing and the Lycanthropy as an affliction text says another. The Curse text itself under wererat reads "Curse of lycanthropy as hybrid or rat". The "actual" in game answer requires a Rule 0 - it only has to be one or the other. I would base it off which form the character got bit by. If bit by the rat - they turn into a rat. If bit by the hybrid form, they turn into the hybrid form. 2. No - the change is not "as per polymorph self" which DOES award some minor healing. I think that is what you are confusing here. 3. In hybrid - yes, yes, and yes. 4. yes. The character is effectively an NPC - until they revert back to their normal form. 5. their "race" changes to that of they hybrid or were-animal form. Extrapolating the race modifiers from the Wererat in the MM: In either form: Dex +6 Con +2; Climb +14, Listen, search, and spot +8 Move silently +6 In the Rat form only - there is a +11 to the hide check In the Hybrid form - this is only +7 These replace the character's existing "racial modifiers" [/QUOTE]
