[Windows] The shapeshifter's ability "shapeshift: greater werewolf" is not working properly

Expected:
The greater werewolf form should be immune to all weapons except cold iron and regenerate 3 hit points per second as written in the description of the shapeshifter's ability.

Observed:
The greater werewolf form does not regenerate and can be hit by any weapon.

"The Shapeshifter kit werewolf form was nerfed because normal werewolves were too strong at earlier levels, and they didn't really get a chance to fix it for later levels. While I would like to fix the kit, it will most likely have to be a post-release update due to the number of other features we're focusing on."

So ... still as it was from the original; the description does not match with what is actually given.

You're correct that the in-game description of the ability does claim immunity to all weapons except cold iron. However, it is the description which is wrong, not the action. The Shapeshifter was never meant to have this ability, and indeed it'd be absurd to have it, because in-game enemies aren't equipped with cold iron weapons.

That would be all kinds of broken.

As others have noted its the description that is at fault here.
