Lycanthropy

Name	Lycanthropy
Contagion	Not Contagious
Effects	There are many forms of lycanthropy, the mystical infection that turns people into uncontrolled werewolves. This is the most common one. This disease is spread solely by a werewolf’s bite. One hour after infection, the victim begins to have sporadic hallucinations and flashes of temper. At some point in the next twelve hours, the victim will turn into a werewolf for the first time (see box below), heedlessly attacking those around them. Transformations will be brief to begin with, growing longer but less frequent over the following month. Lycanthropy is a magical disease and cannot be cured by normal means. To cure it, two magicians must simultaneously cast Cure Disease and Succour on the patient within one month of infection. After one month, greater intervention – ritual magic, divine power or similar – will be required.

Transforming A referee will confirm with the victim how the transformation will be managed. Generally, a referee will locate the victim, call Time Freeze in their camp, then either place an appropriate mask and claws on the victim and brief them or swap them out for a staff member in appropriate costume, before calling Time In again to launch the encounter.
