Well yeah, I mean I thought that was the whole point of the requirement for special weapons. I mean I didn't like this jiggery pokery myself - I might consider iron a special metal, but this business about only silver affecting werewolves is quite a modern tradition, IIRC. But inccidentally, the point ofg the above proposal was that you cOULD defeat them... it just had no effect lasting into the next round, much like an automatic Last Gasp feat.

I'm not sure what you mean - do you mean that silver is not considered a "special weapon", or do you mean that they cannot in effect be injured by non-silver weapons? That was the sort of thiung I had in mind for the 1 AP thing.

Well, I mean is there a general position like in D&D where you must have silver weapons to affect lycanthropes, or something. The reason this is of some pressing concern is that I want to set something in dragon pass, and dragon pass includes the telmori quite prominently. Furthermore, it notes that the Telmori specifically turn into werewolves as opposed to wolves....... eh? Anyway, I need to sort of be able to anticipate what my players will spring on me.
