(3.5) Telling the difference between a natural or afflicted lycanthrope?

[Coidzor]

And can they purposefully fail the break enchantment/remove curse save on the nights of the full moon?

Or is there a way to force them to make the save if so?

See, I've just captured a werewolf and we're not sure how to tell if I can cure it (natural vs. afflicted) and whether I can force him to get cured.

And then if their alignment would revert to what they were before hand.

Best think I can think of:

1)Use gather information to find a cleric with a patron deity that offers the Moon domain (like Selune/Sehanine). Pay them to cast Divination if you can find a good phrasing or otherwise consult with their deity.

2) Have someone cast Zone of Truth and ask it? Could just make its save, though.

3) Have someone cast Probe Thoughts on it.

DR 5/silver vs 10/silver. Very little other difference. Have someone hurt the were with a weapon that does 6-10 points of damage. If it overcomes dr....

Or, diplomacy or intimidate. Ask if it's a natural were and have your sense motive pumped.
