Rules Questions


All forms of were- creatures can pass along lycanthropy, despite that fact that this is not specifically written in certain were- creature descriptions. Correct or no?

Not correct. Only natural lycanthropes can pass it along. Afflicted ones cannot.

Can the natural lycanthropes choose to pass it along (or not)? For example, if a natural weretiger were to bite a victim, could it choose to NOT pass lycanthropy on?
