Werewolf - form?

[MACIORELLA]

Is there going to be vampire / werewolf forms?

[Razorblade]

Unlikely.

DnD doesn't have "vampire forms." Vampires more or less look like normal people of their race. They can turn into clouds of mist or bats to aid in escaping a battle, but there's no Elder Scrolls - style "werewolf, but grey, hairless, and leathery" form for vampires.

As for werewolves, while there was originally a werewolf companion planned, they got cut during development. Vampire mechanics exist in BG3 because Astarion is a vampire, but without a werewolf companion, werewolf mechanics seem unlikely.

vampire yes, werewolf idk

Vampires will be in some capacity. One of the companions is one, technically. But no forms. That's not quite how it works in DnD.

Werewolves in general? No idea. I'd imagine unlikely, but maybe? I don't think you'll be able to become one anyway

[katzenkrimis]

Blood suckers, for sure.

I don't think you'll see a werewolf.

Well no, he is a vampire spawn, not a true vampire.

That's why I said technically. There's a difference but in the broad look at things, a vampire spawn is still in the undead/vampire category, I'm pretty sure.

Doesn't really matter. It's kind of like splitting hairs here for the OP's question. Vampires are in, regardless.

But werewolfs are definetly in the game. Atleast as enemy creature.

That remains to be seen, since we don't have the full game in our hands yet.

But better to expect it to not be there and be pleasantly surprised in any case.

Just play a barbarian druid. Shape shift into a wolf and rage....almost as good as a werebeast...

We see a werewolf in one of the teaser trailers shown during the last panel, I can't remember which one, so assuming they keep to dnd rules to some degree there's a decent chance characters can become werewolves. That being said, I also wouldn't be surprised if the werewolves just didn't use their bite attack so Larian could avoid werewolf PCs

I've never played DnD (regrettably), but I think I heard that werewolf is seen as somewhat of a debuff in 5e, so not really something you can become since you probably won't have any control over...well anything.

Anyways I'm sure a modder will add the ability to transform and control one when the game releases, there was a mod I remember not long ago that had it for the early access version.

I've always wanted to make a monk/werewolf character myself, so I'll probably be downloading that mod when the game releases.

A werewolf can transform at will and use werewolf attacks, plus their hearing and sense of smell gets a buff, there's also different types of werecreatures like werebears, weretigers and others. How exactly it works depends on each individual game though, the one time I experienced it my character lost control and tried to kill his friends so I made sure to get rid of it as soon as it was possible, while another party member who had also gotten bitten decided to instead try to learn how to control it, which worked.

If you're referring to druid, that doesn't work that way in DnD normally, but I won't rule it out completely.
If you're saying in general, a werewolf I can't say, but you certainly can play as a vampire spawn origin character if you wish. They'll be fighting to break free of their master's control and possibly become a full fledged vampire themselves.
