can warforged become lycanthropes? I understand that it is supposed to be a curse but some people consider it a disease which would it fall under when dealing with a warforged? In previous editions warforged weren't humanoids, which meant that they couldn't become lycanthropes or most forms of undead. Under the current rules, 5E warforged are humanoids. Personally, *I'D* still hold to the original intent and avoid undead/lycanthropic warforged.

The fact that warforged are immune to disease backs this up. Lycanthropy is both curse and disease; the fact that half of it can't take root would, in my mind, provide immunity. But it's a DM's decision.

Yes. The incarnate construct spell applies a template that makes a construct humanoid. Furthermore by raw lycanthropes can become undead but not the other way around. The incarnate construct template applies 2 -la’s as it removes racial traits without replacing them & lowers hd it’s meant to be combined with + la’s to net zero. Warforged are great for incarnate as sub-type is unaffected. Lycanthropy is 2 la’s. Necropolitan has no la instead you just loose a level. You can be a Warforged that gets Pinocchioed bit by a were(something) then ritualistically brought back as a Necropolitan for a creature that’s type is Undead Augmented Living-Construct Shapechanger for 0 la.
