I've played smaug muds for well over 10 years now.
And in that time I have never seen a decent Lycanthropy race done.
They are almost always like vampires with different stats.
What Im thinking is a few types of Lycanthropy.
Werewolf, Wererat, Werebear and Weretiger.
Each with a Human Form, a Hybrid Form, and a Animal Form.
Anyone who loves werewolves in fiction as much as I do Im sure would love to see this done right.
The benefits are prolly obvious, increased speed and strength in different forms, increased regeneration, nice stat increases while in Hybrid and Animal shape.
The negatives:Weakness to silver, being KOS (Kill on Sight) in any "good" type town, like Tarsonis. Meaning the mobs will attack you anywhere but your guildhouses, most likely. This could be a disease you catch, or maybe a character creation option. Maybe both.
True Lycanthropes, who cannot be cured, and infected, who can be cured.
I hope you give it some honest thought, I would love to see this done well, and on a mud I am coming to enjoy more than any previous.

I'd like to see what other ideas you may have for a project I'm doing.
