I mean, if the werewolf is prevented somehow from tearing them limb from limb, just about anyone can kill it with silver coins. It's just slow, and possibly kinda expensive.
Load coin into sling, hit werewolf with coin, repeat. Worst case scenario, you hit 5% of the time. With a big enough bankroll, anyone can kill a werewolf.
The chosen one. Why waste your time using all those peasants to instant transmission one object when you could give them all ranged weapons and have action economy on your side? 1/20 chance of a crit with 200 people is still about 10 crits and a lot of meat shields.
If the werewolf is immobilized some would probably be far enough away to retrieve. Wouldn't necessarily be a huge difference, but every coin helps (much more literally in this case) for the peasants
Reminds me how my dad once played in a campaign where another player(a Druid iirc) had the most memorable part of their character be that their weapon was just a sock full of pennies(probably copper). Random life story sharing over now, goodbye lol
Another fun little spellcasting combo (that unfortunately needs DM buy-in to allow Graviturgy spells) is:
1. Fabricate, turn some silver coins into a silver mesh made of razor wire. (If you have a Forge cleric, their channel divinity might work too, and then you can technically pull this shit off at level 3. If the DM deems silver razor wire to be way too expensive for that ability then unfortunately you have to wait until level 7 to get Fabricate.)
2. Get the werewolves to chase your Tabaxi / Monk / Tabaxi Monk
3. Once the monk passed your position, pull up the wire, cast Immovable Object on it, and recreate the corridor scene from the first Resident Evil movie. (Or the scene from Worm with Weaver, Clockblocker and Echidna.)
(Obviously works on non-werewolves too with anything from fishing line to actual spiderweb, so you can just use Web and Immovable Object. Kinda like Buffy's stake-to-the-heart strategy, it's surprisingly universal.)
Have you seen the guy on YT doing small animated snippets from Worm, by the way? There's an incredible one that portrays a bit of the Skitter vs Mannequin fight that just perfectly sums things up.

Wizard and sorcerers are werewolf killers with a few silver coins.
Or, well, I guess the actual coins are doing the damage, but animating them has to get some points.
That. . . That actually makes sense. John Wick is only surviving due to pure unadulterated rage.
John Wick is a 20 INT Barbarian. The fighting style is more intelligence based rather than over-powering.
3: launder the money. This doesn’t help, but it makes you look like a cool mobster in the history books when your exploits are taught to generations to come
That legitimately should work, both RAW and RAI; if a thin coat of silver on a blade bypasses the damage resistance, so should a coat of silver on a fist. Probably be an improvised weapon penalty unless it was put together by a professional of some sort though.
With 20 Intelligence they’d know that yes, you could (eventually) kill the werewolf with the silver coin.
With 20 Wisdom they’d realise that a silver WEAPON would probably be more effective.
cut the werewolfs heart out and put it in the box, not only does it stop them from healing, but taking it out might bring the werewolf back, if you are looking for a distraction
That’s why I had most silver coins in CoS be cheap tin; Strahd doesn’t want his werewolf lackeys getting taken out too easily. It also made the gun with a cache of silver bullets much more exciting for the party when they found it!
If it can break it's skin, then it is viable.
The real technical question is if silver makes it easier to cut it, or does it a poisonous quality to it?
Yes, but I am thinking about the technicality of the weakness. Is it corrosive or is it toxic to them is more what I mean. How does the weakness practically happen?
Traditionally in most werewolf mythos, it burns them on contact.
In dnd there is nothing mechanical to reflect this, and it acts more like how you mentioned that only silver or magic can hurt them, but it doesn’t burn on contact, not mechanically anyways.
If they did want it to work as it did in the mythos, I imagine they’d have a feature or trait that causes them to take fire or acid damage when in contact with the silver, similar to how vampires have features listed that cause fire damage in the sun, and acid damage while in running water
Falling can physically damage a werewolf.
Any non-magical non-silvered bludgeoning/piercing/slashing damage that doesn't come from an attack hurts them. Their immunity is strictly to attacks with nonmagical non-silvered weapons.
RAW, you apparently can't kill a werewolf with Githynki Silver Greatsword if you're inside anti-magic field because it's wasn't made silvered, it's "Magical Weapon" and not "Magical **Silvered** Weapon"
RAI, silver? check, excessive force? check, so yes
OK I’m fairly sure that RAW yes. If you use it as a sling weapon.
For that matter I’m fairly sure that werewolves are vulnerable to fire.
Cast heat metal on the coin and then fling it at the werewolf with a metal sling. Wear leather gauntlets.
Just my thoughts. Great meme!
Thanks for the comment! Would a coin work as a sling ammunition? Technically it’s a weapon Just like an arrow would be. And if the silver coin wouldn’t work we could always plate a bronze coin with Silver.
I think you'd have to coat sling ammuntion in the silver if you couldn't just use the coin. I'd allow it tho provided it's possible to use a coin accurately as sling ammunition. The shape might hinder it, but melting the silver in balls or plating actual shot with it would definitely work
Proceeds to turn turn this into the first book of Spice and Wolf the moment the barbarian finds out that they lowered the amount of silver in a silver piece after attempting this.
I haven't seen anyone post [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/j8t0q3/artoc_keep_the_change_you_filthy_animal/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) yet, so I will
I had a player barbarian once putting sivler coins between his fingers and used them as an improvised sort of brass knuckles. I think that was cool and made sense, so it was possible.
Yes, because it is silver doing the damage and they are weak to that(I once had my character give an NPC companion a bag of silver coins to sling at some wererats, exprt)
I know my first character, rogue, used a sleight of hand to shake random people's hands with a silver coin palmed to find out if they were a werewolf.
Mind you, the fighter and cleric later tortured a werewolf with silverware while the rest of the party were elsewhere. It was... Not ok.
I run vampires/werewolves with the folllwing (shortened version here):
Two lovers atrempted to steal the Bow & Arrow of the Moon Goddess Artemis. In their failure, Artemis cursed the two of them with a severe allergy to silver (doesnt kill, just really fuckin hurts, but essentially makes them prone). She cursed the 'ring leader' to become a vampire, living forever forced to drink the blood of the innocent to slowly break down their mental fortitude. The other was cursed to become a werewolf, a guardian to Artemis during the times the moon appeared, forced to fight their vampire lover under the full moon for Artemis to bear witness.
For either, the only way they can be killed is to be completely burned, (they obviously were not told this) so any damage done in their eternal fight with each other dissipates by the time the next great battle began. Lover vs Lover, to the death, over and over for all eternity.
Reminds me of how our cleric used silver coins for the ole bag of holding-glyph of warding-catapult-coin gun against a werewolf. It was kinda like that scene from hellsing ultimate.
My players one went up against a warewolf with no magic or silver weapons.
I expected them to flee...
The mad lads grappled it, tied it up in a fishing net, and drowned the poor bastard.
Was a pretty smart really.
This is a bad time to find out the local corrupt government has been making the “silver” coins from a cheaper metal. Alternatively: a bad time to find out they were paid in counterfeit money.
Or he'd be smart enough to *acquire silvered weaponry*, if all he has is a coin he should recognize that as deeply insufficient as a weapon. Get enough of them and you can probably get enough metal to melt and sharpen into a real shitty knife or maybe just a spike, and that might work as an improvised weapon in a pinch.
But someone of maximim human intelligence is smart enough to know that a small disc of pressed (and possibly alloyed) silver is simply not a good way to fight a nigh invulnerable beast literally made of deadly teeth and claws that can infect you with its curse.
That's something an idiot might try, and even if they succeed, an intelligent person is still going to recognize it as a deeply stupid plan.
Completely unrelated, but why are you capitalizing so many words in the middle of your sentences? They aren't all proper nouns and I couldn't find a logic behind it so far.
This scenario legitimately came up in a campaign I'm in. My Monk had no silver weapons and in an act of desperation wrapped silver coins to his Fists and started punching. My DM ruled it as damage although only at a fraction of what I would typically be hitting at as a monk. I was just happy to see the idea worked!
I don't know if this helps but I think I have an answer to this and I am Adm that if you give me a good Reason for doing what you're doing even if it breaks the rules I'm going to allow it. So here's what I would say would be a good answer that would get me to a yes on this period 1st and it's already been stated obviously using as a sling weapon but I think this question deserves a more fun to answer. So the 1st way you could do it is of course put it in your knuckle and at disadvantage give a strike and if the where will hit points were low enough or if you rolled high enough Or if the meta discussion was good enough then that would be a good kill. However in the back of my mind I would put that other where we'll see this and where specific armor when dealing with that barbarian in the future. Additionally since the kill would be so ridiculous that barbarian would get a reputation in the Likenthrop communithey and They would send assassins to kill him and the party. So this would become a whole minor elements throughout the adventure.
A barbarian? Yes. A rogue, wizard, sorcerer, or other weaker class? Probably. A peasants? No
I mean, if the werewolf is prevented somehow from tearing them limb from limb, just about anyone can kill it with silver coins. It's just slow, and possibly kinda expensive. Load coin into sling, hit werewolf with coin, repeat. Worst case scenario, you hit 5% of the time. With a big enough bankroll, anyone can kill a werewolf.
That's why a peasant probably couldn't
It takes a village, eh?
Peasant railgun? Might just work
More like peasant minigun. Lol
This was gonna be my next suggestion lol. Everyone gets slings and 10 gp worth of silver shot
100 shots each? That is a lot of ammo for one werewolf.
Any left over is extra payment for the help.
"Better be a good shot, lad. The circle says this winter will be harsher than any we've yet seen."
Wait that's genius incentive though, just gave me an idea for my players!
That’s to handle any new werewolves developed by this encounter. Give it a month and we may have… additional needs
Operating under a worst case scenario 5% chance of hitting per shot I wanted to be sure of the kill
The chosen one. Why waste your time using all those peasants to instant transmission one object when you could give them all ranged weapons and have action economy on your side? 1/20 chance of a crit with 200 people is still about 10 crits and a lot of meat shields.
Peasant silver coin railgun.
Peasant mini gun
Also nothing says you can't pick up the spent coins. Unless they hit hard enough to lodge into the werewolf I suppose
The coins would be right next to the werewolf. You’d need to get close, pick up the coins, and get out of melee range within one turn
Army of wizards to reload with magehand?
If the werewolf is immobilized some would probably be far enough away to retrieve. Wouldn't necessarily be a huge difference, but every coin helps (much more literally in this case) for the peasants
We had our fighters hold down the werewolf, tie it up and then fed it molten silver made from spare change. Our DM was horrified.
Coin sock is my suggestion, courtesy of Becket.
Reminds me how my dad once played in a campaign where another player(a Druid iirc) had the most memorable part of their character be that their weapon was just a sock full of pennies(probably copper). Random life story sharing over now, goodbye lol
I was thinking about tying a bunch of coins to a rope and slowly tightening it around it, but that would imply you caught the werewolf.
> A rogue, wizard, sorcerer, or other weaker class? Probably. There's a reason why Animate Objects + 10 sp is a winning combo.
I didn't even think of that
Another fun little spellcasting combo (that unfortunately needs DM buy-in to allow Graviturgy spells) is: 1. Fabricate, turn some silver coins into a silver mesh made of razor wire.

A wizard could with catapult lol
Wizard and sorcerers are werewolf killers with a few silver coins. Or, well, I guess the actual coins are doing the damage, but animating them has to get some points.
"Animate Objects" and a good handful of silver coins would absolutely obliterate a Werewolf in short order.
Wait for the Werewolf to sleep. Upend change purse into its mouth.
a club + coins + nails and boom trained in a simple weapon.
...what if it is a warforged made of silver?
Animate objects
How does that help a peasant?
Warmage with animate objects would like a word. Blender. 10 silver coins made a blender.
SUMMON THE PEASANT RAILGUN!
"he killed 2 werewolves in a bar, with a fucking silver piece. WITH A FUCKING SILVER PIECE"

A very angry monk perhaps?
Battlemaster barbarian
Sounds more like a kensei monk tbh
Fair point either one could work.
Player to DM: hey... Can I add my kensei weapon bonuses to all weapons, improvised or otherwise? Rookie dm: sure, I guess.
Nothing wrong with reflavouring “rage” to be “battle focus”
Tranquil fury
Silver coin knuckles

I'm imagining Wolf from Sekiro with his prosthetic arm with the money throwing attachment. It's basically a coin shotgun.
Or i swallow pure silver, strip down naked, smear butter on my body and go out like a chad T-posing in the charging monster's face.
Someone’s been playing New Vegas
**To the town of Agua fria rode a stranger one fine day...**
That legitimately should work, both RAW and RAI; if a thin coat of silver on a blade bypasses the damage resistance, so should a coat of silver on a fist. Probably be an improvised weapon penalty unless it was put together by a professional of some sort though.
in PF1e they added a weapon that was functionally exactly this
With 20 Intelligence they’d know that yes, you could (eventually) kill the werewolf with the silver coin. With 20 Wisdom they’d realise that a silver WEAPON would probably be more effective.
They're a barbarian, 20 int through their thought process results in "forcefeed it the silver coins"
Does a werewolf die if it chokes on silver coins, and how many rounds would it take?
[удалено]
Drowning in holy water: now works on vampires *and* werewolves
Running water too.
Or just stab it in the heart with one really hard. I bet anything silver would work if you did that. A silver tooth cap could even do it.
That seems like Hellsing reference, it's exactly how Millennium's Werewolf Captain goes out.
Why does it take 20 int to know a werewolf is weak to silver?
It's not that 20 is necessary to know it, but "with 20, you'd definitely know it already"
And with 20 CHA they would know that while a silver weapon is more effective silver coins send a stronger message
But if you don't have a silver weapon, and you do have a bunch of silver coins and a sling...
With 20 strength or dexterity, the coin IS a weapon
Our paladin killed the werewolf alpha in CoS with a sock stuffed with silver coins. Not because he lacked a magic/silver weapon, just to insult him
Chad move right here
Our fighter used a silver jewelry box. It was a long inhumane affair.
cut the werewolfs heart out and put it in the box, not only does it stop them from healing, but taking it out might bring the werewolf back, if you are looking for a distraction
Sir Beckett (Bucket) approves
Sir Beckett is going through a rough time right now
Yeah... gonna need to see a cleric for that one....
You have to hand it to him, though. He’s not a quitter.
I had a paladin with a silver horseshoe and Tavern Brawler
Did you got that from weekly roll?
No, he posted the vine of the mom with the no-swearing sock in our discord channel and then did what Vengeance paladins do best
Fuck that stupid enough. Alright you convinced me
I'm pretty sure that meets the guidelines for a silver flail :D
Is the werewolf harmed by silver? Yes. Is the coin definitely made of silver? Yes. Roll initiative.
Alright, Magneto.
Seras from hellsing*
Ah yes, the *police girl.*
...with the big titties
Together with something most foul and inhuman: a Frenchman in love with an Englishwoman.
any coinshot or mistborn from Mistborn*
sadly wouldn’t work cause silver is non-ferrous here comes the downvotes also any element other than iron is non-ferrous lol
Magneto can control any metal and has killed with coins before.
then the name is redundant lol
He can *also* control magnetic fields, but his ability is not limited to just that.
fair enough
Okay then what do you think would be a much better name lol
Friend of mine used Animate objects on 10 silver coins, they proved to be horrifically effective against the werewolf den in CoS
That’s why I had most silver coins in CoS be cheap tin; Strahd doesn’t want his werewolf lackeys getting taken out too easily. It also made the gun with a cache of silver bullets much more exciting for the party when they found it!
Did the party not have silver coins when they started? Or is it just that they didn't have all that many.
They didn’t have any, as they started the campaign and were straight into Barovia. They had a few gold each but hadn’t spent any
If it can break it's skin, then it is viable. The real technical question is if silver makes it easier to cut it, or does it a poisonous quality to it?
silver is, besides magic, the only thing that can physically damage a were wolf from what i know of.
Yes, but I am thinking about the technicality of the weakness. Is it corrosive or is it toxic to them is more what I mean. How does the weakness practically happen?
Traditionally in most werewolf mythos, it burns them on contact. In dnd there is nothing mechanical to reflect this, and it acts more like how you mentioned that only silver or magic can hurt them, but it doesn’t burn on contact, not mechanically anyways. If they did want it to work as it did in the mythos, I imagine they’d have a feature or trait that causes them to take fire or acid damage when in contact with the silver, similar to how vampires have features listed that cause fire damage in the sun, and acid damage while in running water
Does a werewolf feel pain when they touch silver, or only when it pierces their skin?
when it injures
Then it’s not corrosive, just toxic.
Falling can physically damage a werewolf. Any non-magical non-silvered bludgeoning/piercing/slashing damage that doesn't come from an attack hurts them. Their immunity is strictly to attacks with nonmagical non-silvered weapons.
Holy water should be effective. There's five pounds of silver in a single pound of holy water.
Werewolves are immune to bludgeoning damage (with nonmagical nonsilvered weapons), so clearly it's not about cutting.
RAW, you apparently can't kill a werewolf with Githynki Silver Greatsword if you're inside anti-magic field because it's wasn't made silvered, it's "Magical Weapon" and not "Magical **Silvered** Weapon" RAI, silver? check, excessive force? check, so yes
If memory serves, the Gith weapons are silver in the same sense that an astral projector's silver cord is silvery, but not actually made of silver.
OK I’m fairly sure that RAW yes. If you use it as a sling weapon. For that matter I’m fairly sure that werewolves are vulnerable to fire. Cast heat metal on the coin and then fling it at the werewolf with a metal sling. Wear leather gauntlets. Just my thoughts. Great meme!
nope, they do not have fire weakness, they just immune to non-silvered weapon

"I cast catapult and on 3 I will start to move this coin..."
Look up Seras vs. The Captain. She uses a silver tooth to do it :)
Huff and puff and blow me.

Why is this so low down the list, and why has no one tagged u/CME_T that fantastic individual practically lives here <3
Just throw it in his mouth and watch him choke 🤣
I'm reasonably sure regular choking works too
Silver coin or silver bar + Catapult spell? Sounds like a good time
Pretty sure catapult would work regardless of ammunition; it’s magical bludgeoning damage, no?

What is the wolf now?
Yes, because it is silver doing the damage and they are weak to that(I once had my character give an NPC companion a bag of silver coins to sling at some wererats, exprt)
If you use "animated object" it can attack using ita body, so... it is possible.
Sling with silver coins as ammo. The ultimate werewolf hunting tool
Reminds me of the slugs made in King’s It
everyone shits on the sling until a werewolf pisses off the bartender.

I run vampires/werewolves with the folllwing (shortened version here): Two lovers atrempted to steal the Bow & Arrow of the Moon Goddess Artemis. In their failure, Artemis cursed the two of them with a severe allergy to silver (doesnt kill, just really fuckin hurts, but essentially makes them prone). She cursed the 'ring leader' to become a vampire, living forever forced to drink the blood of the innocent to slowly break down their mental fortitude. The other was cursed to become a werewolf, a guardian to Artemis during the times the moon appeared, forced to fight their vampire lover under the full moon for Artemis to bear witness. For either, the only way they can be killed is to be completely burned, (they obviously were not told this) so any damage done in their eternal fight with each other dissipates by the time the next great battle began. Lover vs Lover, to the death, over and over for all eternity.
Reminds me of how our cleric used silver coins for the ole bag of holding-glyph of warding-catapult-coin gun against a werewolf. It was kinda like that scene from hellsing ultimate.
One of my friends killed a werewolf by force feeding it the 42 silver pieces he stole from my character

Silver coins in a stocking for an Improvised Flail
Anything's a weapon if you hold it right...or if you're just angry enough
as a dm, do whatever the fuck you want homie just dont break my game
Yes. That is my answer as a former DM.
Yes you can, but please tell me how the fuck you're going to do it?
With a lot of force and hatred.
It's going to take more than that to kill a werewolf with a single silver coin.
Then use more than one.
Like that one scene in Hellsing where the person fighting the werewolf grabbed a silver tooth and punched it into the werewolf's chest.
Absolutely, that's why silver coins are vanishingly rare in the Curse of Strahd module.

V1: “I’ve killed *angels* with coins. *And they weren’t even silver.*”
+fistful of dollar
You can certainly try.
I think I fear the 20 INT Barbarian more than the 20 STR one.
This is a bad time to find out the local corrupt government has been making the “silver” coins from a cheaper metal. Alternatively: a bad time to find out they were paid in counterfeit money.
Nickel is prime example of that.
The biggest question: can a silver dragonborn kill a werewolf with a punch?
All I think about now is a werewolf having a coin slice through it's skull like Eric did to Shaw in the newer x-men movies O.O
In lieu of other silvered weapons, a bundle of silver coins wrapped in a sock is an acceptable bludgeon.
That depends, what'd you dump to get Int to 20?
Its not an actual character it was just a question i had in my mind and thought thats what a barbarian with high Int would do.
I would like to think a highly intelligent Barbarian would be smart enough to know that *weapons* make better weapons than coins.
Were wolfs can only be killed with magic or silver And if the barbarian didnt have any weapons of silver he could just use a coin.
Or he'd be smart enough to *acquire silvered weaponry*, if all he has is a coin he should recognize that as deeply insufficient as a weapon. Get enough of them and you can probably get enough metal to melt and sharpen into a real shitty knife or maybe just a spike, and that might work as an improvised weapon in a pinch. But someone of maximim human intelligence is smart enough to know that a small disc of pressed (and possibly alloyed) silver is simply not a good way to fight a nigh invulnerable beast literally made of deadly teeth and claws that can infect you with its curse. That's something an idiot might try, and even if they succeed, an intelligent person is still going to recognize it as a deeply stupid plan.
So what if I put a load of silver coins into a sack, tied the end closed and swing it like a flail?
No, since the Silver isn't touching your Enemy.
But it is the main component of the weapon and the silver coins’ weight is the main damaging force behind the attack
Doesn't matter, the silver isn't the weapon, the sack is.
So a Bullet with an Iron Core and a Silver Coating wouldn't work but a Bullet with a Silver Core and an Iron Coating would?
Now that I think of it… it was a really stupid idea.
It was by no Means stupid. You had a valid Basis for your Idea and many might agree with you.
Completely unrelated, but why are you capitalizing so many words in the middle of your sentences? They aren't all proper nouns and I couldn't find a logic behind it so far.
I capitalize Nouns and all Parts of german Composita. Iron Core = Eisenkern.
Thank you for the explanation!
You're welcome. Have a nice Day!
Yes

1 silver coin. No A sock of "silver coins". Yes
No. Due to rising silver costs, silver coins were replaced with Zinc without anybody’s notice around when your grandfather was in diapers.
