How do you become a Were-something?
« on: February 19, 2012, 09:43:53 pm »

I got necromancy, got bored because I steamrolled everything that was thrown at me with my 500 zombie animals.

Now. WERE-PERSON TIME, HOW DO I ACCOMPLISH IT?

You have to get bit by a wercreature while it is in its wereform.  The first problem is that they bite hard enough to sever whatever they bite.  The second problem is that a month in Adventure mode is a really long time, so you will probably either die or retire before the next full moon.

Though you can afford to lose a limb, transforming restores lost limbs.

if you are already a necromancer and don't have to eat or sleep, find a werecreature lair with a long hallway, then wait just inside the entrance for 24 hour intervals and sneak up to see what form it is in. When it was a werecreature, i cut off its foot, then lay down and waited for it to bite me, then hacked it to bits.

Do you first transform that same full moon or the next?  I got bite, by a child werewolf, in the arm busing the fat, and I did not turn the next full moon.

I think you have to be bitten when it's in animal form and it has to tear your flesh.

It was in were-form but I can't remember if it tore flesh.  Is there some way of knowing I was infected?  Is infection 100% risk and does disease resistance effect it?

On the travel screen.  You can also hold shift+w to check.

) means the moon is waning.  ( means the moon is waxing.  Of those you have crescent, gibeous.  0 is the full moon (not to be confused with the sun behind rain clouds which also looks like that).  Full moon happens once a month for 36 hours IIRC.

Usually, you won't last two or three days in adventure mode, much less 30 days, and it must hard to be able to play werewolf fairly.  Sleeping through it is tedious too, since you starve and can't eat more than three food items at a time, which is, IMO ridiculous.  And in my game there is a bug where leather ends up strewn around the lairs, slowing the game to a crawl, if you sleep in them to wait for the werebeast to change.

Fighting the werewolf was fun though.  This same child that I locked and broke all his bones, when turned killed me and was pretty difficult to kill with an axe.  It may have been worse if it had been an adult.
