Lycanthropy.

How bout it?

I know it's an ECL thing and also a template rather than a class. I think this server has a good set up with the RPOTM thing allowing you to apply for things like this rather than just anyone rolling up werewolves and werecats willy nilly.

I heard it might be hard to implement werecreature templates in NWN2 on some other servers and for that reason no-one had lycanthropy.

I had one idea though that might be cool.

Anyone remember Baldur's gate 2. They made a version of the druid (shapeshifter druid) that had deliberately afflicted themselves with lycanthropy and become werewolves. Their dedication to the one form was so devout, (in order to be in control of the curse) that they had forsaken the ability to wildshape into anything else and also could not wear armour.

This place seems to have lots of nice custom PrC's How bout make a werewolf one for malarites, people of the black blood cult, werewolf PrC, that allow the use of a custom lycanthrope wildshape feat to replace the normal wildshapes. You would basically be able to shape change into a wolf or a werewolf.

At higher levels where you would obtain the other types of wildshapes such as plant shape or elemental shape, you would gain a better version of the wolf and werewolf forms, working right up to being a greater werewolf.

Interesting concept... yea or neigh?

It would be a bit of a project I know, maybe something for the far future.

I am a pretty big werewolf junky. Absolute fan of Underworld and such. While this is a very interesting idea ( i really do like it), I would have to vote nay. I've seen servers that allowed werewolves. Had a class just for them. However, in the end it really just wasnt worth it. Lycanthropes really need to be an dm controlled thing. I would be almost insulted otherwise because if given to a player, the idea gets nerfed. alot. The template alone is like what, +6 ecl? I know vampires are about that. Besides, you would have to make the entire class from scratch. The bladur's gate sub class isn't in any of the books. Hell, Baldur's Gate was made on a point system like the 'Forsaken' game. Anywyas, thats just my two bits. sorry bud 8(

Very very interesting. I would like to see this on the sever.

I think I'll beat everyone else to the punchline with this one:

http://www.sundren.org/forum/showthr...ht=lycanthropy

it took me about 3 seconds to search for that too... what a nifty thing - that search function.

Vampires and Lycanthropes have always been a favourite thing of mine to implement in the NWN series. But as many of you may know, at Sundren we believe in "doing it right" regardless of how long it takes.

I'm holding back on designing them because of a crucial plugin which has yet to be made compatible with Sundren's current configuration. I do know it's going to be updated eventually so it's just a matter of me waiting for that before I can pursue these projects.

Rest assured it will be a far more indepth vampirism/lycanthrope system than anything else I know of currently.

[Firechicken]

We know you can do it Saulus you have not let us down this far into the game.

Jeez, give his arse a chance to rest guys, I think you busted most of the capillaries in his cheeks with all that smooching. :P

[Azulfae]

I am gobsmacked everyday with what I discover new on this server. It is really really well put together and so well thought out.

This is the first player world that I have ever played on that I actually believe that whatever the DM's and builders have coming is actually gonna be good and not just some lame half baked nerf of an idea.

I can wait

. . . . suck up 8P

hmm I remeber in a nwn1 module that would equip a skin on log in giving you werewolf ability to shift. Another had a vampire script that in sunlight you would take damage if out in it.

what exactly would have to be designed for these classes?

a. a quest to aquire it?
b. Make it a class instead of a quest.
c. a skin that gets given

I think the Morte libris or some other book shows how folks would slowly take on undeath like a class. What would be cool is if they could be affected by turn cast by a cleric or other undeath scripts.

Not really caught up on Electron design, but vampyre and lycanthrope would have to be something like a subrace IMO.
