I decided to make a two handed sword users, a la Guts from Berserk. I trained his wrestling and fighting up to legendary, and decided to go take out a bandit camp, simple enough. What was out of the ordinary were the disproportionate amount of were beasts in the general vicinity. Only were-lizards and were-deer. They were tough, and felt no pain, but once their legs were crippled it was a simple matter of bleeding them out.
The injuries were still starting to pile up for my Guts expy. A were-deer ( this type of were beast was easily the more difficult to deal with ) managed to actually bite my guy's tongue off, which I thought was pretty badass.
I must've fought about 5 were beasts, and after facing a were-deer again, it appeared i'd met my match. The thing bit my hand off, followed by my foot. I didn't pay attention to any of the combat logs other than my own, which were a series of desperate strikes to as many arteries as possible. Amazingly, the thing bled out before I could. I fast travelled to assess just how utterly broken my guy was.
I fast travelled and...I was fine. Completely fine. My body parts were all there, in fact I had no prior injuries or health warnings. Weirdly enough, my items were also, I suppose gone, it said they were being "hauled".
Turns out all those bites from the were-deer weren't for nothing. I was a fully fledged were beast.
I then spent the next day or so wrestling the crap out of another injured were-deer ( who injured it I'm not entirely sure ), raising my now were-ified guy's stats, which apparently were quite low. I wanted to see what a were beast with multiple ranks of legendary wrestling could do against bogeymen.
Night passes, day dawns without event, and I'm a buck naked human, with only a dagger and a backpack.
I'm off to the nearest mead hall to get a sword and some armour, I really don't want this gem of an adventurer to die.
