Lycanthropes... rock.

[Jonrea]

So, under the advice of many members of this board, I chose to create a Dwarf Were-(Dire)-Badger over a werewolf.

And I must say, it is absolutely amazing.

I've only played one session with it, but man, I can't help but smile when I think about it. While changed, +12 Fort, 27 Con, DR 10/Silver... and everything else about it is awesome.

I think one of my favorite moments in gaming ever happened when I set off a CR7 trap, got hit with eight darts, took no damage, and then passed all eight saving throws to resist the poison.

That and stuff like this:

DM: You take [amount either slightly above or below ten] damage.
Me: *Laughs*.

Anyone else have any awesome stories about lycanthropes?

Did you include the fact that you have to take the LA AND the nearly-useless animal hit dice, which all count as character levels?

In my free LA 3 no racial HD gestalt game, I've got a player coming in that I helped design. He's a natural weretiger monk//warlock that thinks he's the literal king of the world and enjoys eating the faces of his enemies, as it calms his bloodlust and lets him find his "inner tiger".
