There are many ways this can add something to the game for everyone involved.Note the alignment though. This does not have to be an excuse for the halfling to slide into evil in the search for power. Perhaps he feels bad about that aspect, but still hungers for the power. This can make it a secret, almost shameful, obsession - "I loved the power, but I hated what it made me do. Still, I want it."Much like our little friend Bilbo, who was able to give up the One Ring, but still wanted it desperately.So what does your little guy do to fill that hole in his soul that lycanthropy left behind? How does he fill it?The short sighted answer is that he devleops an obsession with re-becoming a lycanthrope and convinces himself that he will "control" it this time (and not loose the alignment). This could create some very fun combat situations (hit me! hit me!) and is entirely within roleplay constraints.A more long sighted answer is that he develops the same obsession with regaining "lost" power, but he tries to find a different source that won't have such dramatic changes on his alignment. He seeks to do good and holy things in the hopes that a God will reach down and touch him making him a half-celestial, or something dramatic like that.Or perhaps he quests for the right ingredients to make a potion that will grant him power and might on the level of lycanthropy. Something of a ritual like a Lich, but not so evil.Or he persues a life of drugs that boost him up and make him feel good, but eventually eat him away at a terrible price.There are a lot of good things to do with this that would make for some great roleplay opportunities. What's important is that you try to find something that your DM will not only allow, but might even work with (giving future strengths as a reward).All of this can be done without making you a card carrying "power gamer" who's only obsessed with kewl powers on your halfling.</blockquote>
