(http://home.epix.net/~george/wererat.jpg)<br/><br/>For those not in the know, this is the basic idea of what a Were-rat looks like.  They are intelligent enough to use armor, weapons, and tactics just like a normal human, elf, and so on.  However, they are more beast like thanks to the curse in their veins, so I would highly recommend you don't get bit if you can help it.
