Here, have a couple of werebeasts. (On Mediafire for now, since I can't get DFFD to upload anything)

I have several savegames such as these since I love to experiment with transformations and werebeasts, not sure what could be the best to satisfy your testing purposes. Anyhow, in this file I included four saved games in medium worlds with abandoned forts with access to HFS; two with a dwarf werewolf in masterwork steel equipment, and two with a human werebuffalo (standard equipment), both before and after the bite.

If you have some specific request or something is corrupted in the archive let me know!

Yes, it's werebeast adventurers in Adventure Mode. You're welcome, but now I'm curious about your test results!

My test went WONDERFULLY!
you see, my test was to see how long a werewolf could survive.
I have reloaded this save about twenty times, each with new results. At one point I found a dragon. I kicked its ASS.

IT CRIED LIKE A BITCH!

Hm, I wonder why would adventurer become slower after the bite. You see, the save from before features a hero with over 1800 speed when geared. And after, even naked he can only go as fast as nearly 1500 in human form.

Did you notice any speed changes for a were-dwarf as well?

Edit: That buffalo was so uncooperative I've ended up saving right after the moment I've disabled all his limbs and keeping restarting from there and still he managed to mess up everything a couple of times. Eventually I've managed to repeat Mimidormi's accomplishment and got bitten in the finger in the turn before buffalo bled to death with his heart pierced.
And yes, the moment you transform your speed changes to 1468 but when you become human again it doesn't reset even though attributes do.

Nice  8)

-snip-
Oh yes, the werebuffalo was nasty, weakness to iron notwithstanding. If I recall correctly the adventurer's left forearm is lying somewhere in the lair.

As for the dwarf adventurer, the only earlier save I had available was at the very beginning of his journey, but I gladly replayed it; and yes, he underwent a similar drop in speed, from 1658 geared and unbitten to 1436 geared and back to dwarf form (1160 in empty-handed werewolf form, 749 hauling gear).

I updated the original archive with a save before the bite for completeness' sake, but I'm still having a hard time uploading anything over 30mb on DFFD :-\ I'll try again later today.
