Can the Heal Spell Cure a Natural Lycanthrope? Just wanted to get ideas on subject, before I do it. (Don't worry, he will get it back ;-)
camble 06-13-06, 01:13 PM	No that would be like healing a human of being human :D There was a spell that I seen that inhabited a creatures shape changing ability but I don't remember where I seen it. Might have been in the spell compendium but I am not absolutely certain It only effected the individual for a short period maybe rounds or minutes. You could try a curse I would say that is in line with the effects of a curse.

Erak 06-13-06, 01:41 PM	Only afflicted lycanthropes can be cured of lycanthropy. So sayeth the SRD. And even then:A remove disease or heal spell cast by a cleric of 12th level or higher also cures the affliction, provided the character receives the spell within three days of the lycanthrope’s attack.
Insane Pixie 06-13-06, 01:52 PM	Trying to heal a natural lycanthrope of lycanthropy is like trying to heal a half-dragon of dragon-ness. It's not possible.
mykesfree 06-13-06, 01:54 PM	Isn't Lycanthropy a Disease? A Natural Lycanthrope is just some one born with the disease right? Isn't it just the Family curse has just been passed down. Thanks for the feedback,
Erak 06-13-06, 02:27 PM	Natural lycans are an inherited template, afflicted are an aquired template. You can only contract it from a natural lycan. It spreads like a disease but is not. Think of it more like a genetic attack than a curse......though in D&D terms that is what it is.
Mysticaloctopus 06-13-06, 04:50 PM	Natural Lycanthropes aren't cursed, though. They have complete control of their power, and can change at will. It's only the afflicted Lycanthropes that go berserk under the full moon and attack things.

Seeker95 06-13-06, 07:51 PM	You can always kill yourself and cast reincarnate. I think that works.Kinda hard for you to cast a spell after you're dead. :P
jaelis 06-13-06, 07:56 PM	Kinda hard for you to cast a spell after you're dead. :P Contingency would do it, if you happened to be able to cast both 4th level druid spells and 6th level sorc/wiz spells.
Galroth 06-13-06, 09:42 PM	Not to get further off topic, but is there an arcane caster level requirment for Craft Contingent Spell (or whatever the name of that feat is)?
Vanigo 06-13-06, 10:38 PM	Not to get further off topic, but is there an arcane caster level requirment for Craft Contingent Spell (or whatever the name of that feat is)? No, any 11th level caster can take it.
zzap1990 06-14-06, 03:10 PM	and why need to cast it youself have someone else being paid to cast it for you
