It's a command.  And all the furries have to agree to bite or to kill.

>* what is the chance of success?
Make it....AN OPTION! :)
-bite50 would be a 50% bite success rate
-bite25 would be a 25% bite success rate
etc
Personally, I think a low percentage would be better.


>* how many times per game can it be used?
I don't know about a limit.  Although swift does make a good point about an upper limit.

>* what happens if it fails? ?("nobody died"?)
Yep.  Same as an angel.
What might be interesting is if the bitee gets a message: "You felt a bite, but you recovered."

Oooh, What if a failed bite reveals a wolf?  The idea of 'a wolf tried to bite you, but you caught him?'


>* can it be used against a non-villager? ?what happens if a mason is successfully bitten

I think that they become especially evil.  They retain all previous powers, including the ability to infiltrate the brotherhood.  They would be able to both meeting and howl.

Ah, no wonder it never got programmed then.  :)
