My character Sudoc, a level 2 Gnome Rogue (GNOME, NOT HIN, GET IT RIGHT) has twice now encountered a lycanthrope in the north east Bez sewers, both being a wererat breed.

Wererats will not spawn unless the average party level of the entering PC's party is level 3 or greater. This leads me to ask: Were you partied up with at least one other PC of level 4 or higher at the time? Because if you were the DC of the encounters in that area were then based on the average level of the party you were in when entering the area. This is just another reason, besides RP reasons, why PCs should not party up unless they are truly (adventuring) together.

If this wasn't the case, the only other alternative I can think of would be that a level 3+ person had entered that area of the sewers before you and your PC got stuck with those spawns.
