Curing lycanthropy

[Sinister]

How can it be cured?

[DirectOrder]

I think the only way to cure it (besides death) is being turned into a toad. Not sure if there is an adventure card or two that will cure it, but toading is the only way I know of.

There are multiple Wolfsbane cards in adventure deck. Object that makes you add up to 2 to Lycan rolls and discarding it cures lycanthropy.

Thanks for the replies!

There are only two Wolfsbane cards in the deck, so good luck getting it!

Why cure it anyway, you get more powerful at night. The only problem is if the one (or maybe two) adventure card that one-shots lycanthropes is drawned. But the odds are in your favor anyway.

So if I'm turned ware is that what's automatically adding 1 to my ware rolls?

Also, what triggers the shift from day to night and back? It seems very random.

[WingedKagouti]

Day/Night change happens whenever an event is drawn.

Great thanks. And I found the answer to my other question in another thread too! :)

toadify, but there is a drawback...

As a lycanthrope your encounter character abilities are negated. (Sorceress, Thief,...)
As a lycanthrope you can never steal an item as your battle reward. (or follower as a genie)
As a lycanthrope against a non-lycan with wolfsbane you are as good as dead already.
As said earlier some adventure cards outright kill you.

And all that comes at a trade off of you getting a +2 to battle rolls at night, where monsters are already at +1, so effectively +1 to rolls. Well worth it?

Really becoming lycan isn't that much better than getting a 1 on reaper as you are effectively a monster wandering the board rather than a fully fledged character striving to weaken your opposition. As you could expect.

Why?

[The Worst]

Used to be you could go to the Chapel and pay two gold and one life to be cured. Did they not implement this?

Oh that would be a really nice house rule!

where did that came from? I've never seen that before. I just rechecked my rules sheet and the lycan cards (physical game) and unless I'm grossely passing over something I am not seeing that anywhere. Basically all I read says that at night you get +2 and must attack other characters and you get a +1 on the werewolf table.

I'd like to know if we've been doing something wrong all this time.

EDIT: just to make clear, of course at night you must attack a char you land on and it bypasses passive abilities, I'm not seeing how it changes anything by day.

At the moment there is a bug that means even during the day Lycans can't take their normal reward if they defeat a character. So at the moment being a lycan is a royal pain in the tail because you can't steal things you want off other characters at all (Especially if a non-lycan stole it from you! Grrrr!).

It also means you can't take a life off anyone so if you have that Warlock quest then you are stuck. I haven't tried it personally but I also imagine the Battle Royale ending would be a continous cycle if you have two lycans facing off on one another.
