VRGtR has lots of dark gifts that have drawbacks if I recall, but oddly they didn’t include lycanthropy. You could use the old battlerager drawback that they have to make a saving throw not to start attacking the party if they use their lycanthropy form in battle after there are no more opponents.Completely agree - there doesn't seem to be a happy middle ground here. Either you get some bonuses to your character, and absolutely no downsides whatsoever, or you basically lose your character. I'm going to have to think on this some more. Maybe there's a middle option here somewhere....
