08-03-07, 06:32 PM I'm afb at the moment, so pardon me if I got the name (or the spelling wrong). The werewolf wizard. He accidentally turned himself into a dog, was kept as a pet, and turned back during the Time of Troubles. When they ended, he didn't revert back to being a dog (having failed to produce the antidote). Instead he became a werewolf. Does anyone know if he's been officially (or unofficially) statted up somewhere? I like him as a character. I'll always remember Thibledorf Pwent chasing after him, yelling "Bite me!" In particular, I'm curious about whether he's an exception to the werewolf = CE rule. I also wonder if he's begun the path of a gish to make use of his werewolf capabilities (and which particular PrC).

Does anyone have any thoughts?

08-04-07, 01:12 PM Well, the last bit I can remember about Bidderdoo is Harkle saying that the reverts to a werewolf now and then and digs holes in the Ivy Mansion's property (As a dog would).

As far as I know/can assume, Bidderdoo's lycanthropy is neither natural nor was it a disease, rather, it was a side effect of all the bizzare going-ons with magic during the time of troubles. I believe that he retains his alignment (Whatever it was... CG?). When Pwent chased after him yelling "Bite me!" I sorta remember Bidderdoo freaking out and running away lacking the urge to attack his friends.

So yeah, in order to make a long story short and to answer your questions. Bidderdoo's lycanthropy was caused by magic, and I believe he retains his alignment. There are also no official stats for this character (Or any of the Harpells if I recall.), but I would suggest that he's be a 10th level wizard w/ the werewolf template.

08-07-07, 04:38 PM Where did the last bit you remember happen? The last bit I remember is Bidderdoo running away from Pwent. Then again, I got Legacy of the Drow and Paths of Darkness at the same time, so I read a lot in little time. My retention isn't the best. But here's to hoping there's one more place with that eccentric mage.

I wonder if Bidderdoo is burrying experiments like a dog would a bone. I suppose he'd value those experiments about the same as a dog would a bone.

EDIT: It's refreshing to have a Drizzt fan who is more likely to build a Harpell ripoff than a Drizzt ripoff.

08-25-07, 01:04 AM Perhaps, instead of a werewolf, he turned into a weredog? Same stats, but a much different personality?
