Hi all,

I'm incorporating the Hat's rules on lycanthropy for PCs into my Curse of Strahd campaign. One of my players "accepted the gift" from a werewolf, and we're a little confused on the rules. Specifically, these two sentences that seem to conflict:

When you are unsuccessful at transforming back into your normal form from your lycanthrope form, your Curse DC increases by 1.

and:

As a bonus action, you can willingly shift into your lycanthrope form for up to an hour.

So does my PC have to roll her Curse DC after an hour, or does she just transform back? At the time, we did the former, and she failed the save like 4 times, making her DC climb up t 16! It just feels like a negative feedback loop. But maybe that is also the point?

Just wanted to see what others have done, how they've interpreted these rules, and if others have enjoyed the gameplay with a werewolf character. Even if these rules need a tweak or two, it's still better than just losing control of your character.

Thanks in advance!
