So I showed you all the plague rat’s stats. Part of their abilities was to infect humans with several diseases. Here are the write ups for those diseases.
Description: This is a disease that can be transmitted by extended contact with the infected. The symptoms include an ache deep in the limbs, and the skin becomes dry and flaky.
Causes: Extended close proximity with the infected (Toughness resistance check with a -1 dice penalty each day you spend near the sick) or clothing and bed materials of the infected (+2 dice bonus to resisting the disease)
Effect: Once you have become infected you may pass on the disease onto others as noted above. You gain a -2 dice penalty to all Strength checks. Your speed is halved.
Resolve: Every time you get a full night’s rest, if you roll at least 9 successes while trying to determine how much you heal in the night, you may resolve this disease instead of healing damage. Each week in a row that consists mostly of resting, staying well fed, and well hydrated, decreases the number of needed successes by 1. Consuming an item that treats Bone Blight once a day also decreases the target number of successes by 1. Being treated with a healing glove with the Bone Blight cure programming also decreases the target number of success by 1.
