I've never found any use for this amulet. I guess you could put it on a Niefel Jarl, to send him into combat quicker.

it's a good way to kill powerful enemy commanders, give a bunch of them to a bunch of your own commanders, expendable ones, then send them on a suicide mission against the enemy army with the commanders, but then when they go in and get killed themselves you'll get the amulets back, possibly on your own good commanders, it's a very risky item to use by choice because it's cursed!

Thanks! I guess my Niefel Giant prophet will eventually become a werewolf prophet xD

This is the most hilarious strategy ever. Juzza, you win.

I find it very good on undead thugs. Since undead will not turn to werewolfs.

In general it is very good on any thug that donot cast spells before combat. Once they turn to werewolfs you may just tranfer any other equipment to new thugs.

Its an easy way to preserve powerful, diseased mages.

For mages I would rather use a ring of regen since that would allow me to use them in battle as well.

Thing is, they still get feebleminded. Once they become a werewolf, they lose feebleminded, and disease, and old age.

It's a classic item for sadists to equip for poisoning the Arena.

Note -- when using valuable commanders against sadists, fill your misc slots.

Another note -- if this happens to your pretender, well, that's a one-way shapechange. This can be a bit inconvenient if you're playing an aquatic nation, because werewolves don't breathe all that well underwater.
