03-16-05, 01:00 AM There is also such a thing as a natural lycanthrope, although right this moment i cant quote a book or a page...ill look through my books later, and edit this post. But as far as i know Natural lycathropes are not FORCED to change with the phases of the moon.

03-16-05, 06:56 PM Natural lycanthropes are in the monster manual as well. The difference between a natural lycanthrope and an afflicted one is spelled out, but essentially only a natural lycanthrope has control over his shapeshifting (and doesn't automatically get a screwed up alignment) to the point where the shift is at will, and doesn't involve skill checks or saves, AND a natural lycanthrope is the only lycanthrope which can spread lycanthropy. They also have DR 10/silver instead of 5/silver, if I remember correctly.
