Obviously, some forms are better than others, but when the character involuntarily changes into his animal form when damaged, most quickly get the idea that being infected with lycanthropy is a bad thing.Same thing with vampires. EVERYONE and their sister seems to know how to kill a vampire. And even if they don't, adventurers surely do. Yes in both cases I would likely try to get them cured, unless that was part of my character concept. Unlike lichdom, yes you rarely contract these on purpose. But the priciples are still the same. You yourself said the party would be unwilling to wait for 120 days. Remember that these days have to be completely uninterrupted (I think.) No spacing them out or anything. I would say don't worry about it. The worst that can happen is that the character somehow becomes a lich and is grossly unbalanced. Then the DM, because of complaining from the other players, throws an Epic level Hunter of the Undead who makes quick work of this "good" lich. <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" /> And by the way, Hide Life is the spell I was refering to. (The one that gives lots of lich-like defensive abilities.)</blockquote>
