cantremeber password for 680 name so, new name. thought about soemthing last night. why wont anything but silver affect a were animal? and what happens if a substance like gold or iron are used t ostrike it? does the body just decide to completly ignore the laws of pysics? does it just slide off? does the weapon or whatever just not move? will it wound it but the were beast can only be finished off by silver or whatever material?

Hey, I can always email you your password if you want the old name.  Difficult decision, he he he.

Yeah, that question has been plaguing me for some time.  Has anybody read/seen a good solution?  In some of the movies I've seen, if they are shot by regular bullets the actors scream "oh no, it's still coming!" but there's really no indication of what happened.  In game terms, in depends on how the curse/disease of lycanthropy is implemented...  perhaps if the body is destroyed a new body will form for the soul to inhabit, unless certain rules (killing with silver, etc.) are followed.  Maybe silver just does a lot of extra burning damage.  The code is prepared to handle either really...  for "stock" lycanthropy I guess I'll just have to pick one or the other or something else.  Other things that act like lycanthropy will just be created by the curse generator (can't wait to write that he he he he).

I think that were-fillintheblanks regenerate almost (if not) instantly from wounds that arnt from silver.  Pretty much within seconds a normal wound will just close up...  that would be a pain in the butt to code...  If it were me i'd just make it burn or soemthing, then they dont regen that...

Thanks, Tarn!  680 wasent the only one to forget his password!    :roll:

I also agree with Demon...
The standard explanation is due to the were-creatures curse "normal" wounds do not stay..
ie they regenerate almost instantaneously..
(a few seconds basically)
This gives were creatures great power.. and effectively immunity to normal weapons
I have alwasy seen it such that IF you can knock out a werewolf quick enough then they may go unconsious... but will still quickly regenerate (unless you stick a sword in them or something)  i think it would just be a case of SUPER fast regeneration..
but it doesnt work on fire, acid, or silver..
thats pretty standard :-)
