0009654: NPC werebeasts don't heal
My adventurer ran into a kobold in a lair, got in an argument with him, and cut his hand off, but the kobold managed to escape. A couple months of in-game time later, I was looking at Legends Mode, and I noticed the kobold was actually a werepanther, so I went back to the area to hunt him down and kill him. When I ran into the kobold again he was still missing his hand despite the weretransformation being supposed to happen once a month and fully heal him.
No tags attached.

Hm, was the kobold a werepanther even before you met him? If you still have the save please upload it (zipped world folder) to http://dffd.bay12games.com/ [^] so others may have a look.

Also, did you kill him the second time? If you have the save from somewhere before the second meeting (or if you have not killed him there), does he heal during the next full moon?

If yes then the issue lies probably somewhere in him not being checked for update during those few months between your two meetings. If no then I would propose to check his were-status and how he gained it.

I don't think I have a save where he's alive, but the kobold had been a werebeast for a long time, before my adventurer ran into him (which was probably why it was living in a lair in the first place, and had a lot of enemies).
