******WARNING******
MY PLAYERS DO NOT READ THIS!!!!!
I have a question for those who have played this AP or those who have ran this AP
So I was looking at the random encounter table and saw werewolf on there.
What do/did you do if one of your PCs attracts lycanthropy?
I did a search and didn’t find much of peoples experiences with this.
Thanks in advance!
Play it out. If they don't figure out the PC might be diseased, then come the next full moon they get a surprise. If they want to remain a lycan then you can have the populace object, etc. I dunno, I guess to me it's just not a big deal to me.

It's like you're asking what to do if a player gets petrified by a cockatrice. They deal with it. Bathe in the blood, get the condition removed by powerful magic, or roll a new character. Look at the rules for the condition the player is dealing with, have them make knowledge checks to see if they know how to deal, and then have consequences. If your playgroup will not handle this well, give them an out. Maybe there is a rare but special herb deep in the woods that can cure or help them control their lycanthropy. I personally would yank the sheet right out of the player's hands if they were out of control of their character for any reason, but my group knows that about me and hasn't fought me on it yet. Then again, mind control or confusion effects are rare in my games.
