Hm, that's true... Maybe it would be even better just to modify fight,
regen and other functions? So when the time is right and player is
werewolf, you would just use some temoporary modifiers in the current
function, then get rid of them, this wouldn't require any AFF_ flags and
stuff.. But it is more complicated to code, because you would have to
change all the functions that deal with player stats... Kinda messy...
