Diseases
Diseases can wreak havoc on the body and come is several types. They can be long term and challenging to treat. Each has a rarity that determines the difficulty of knowledge about the disease.
Types
Diseases can be of the body, of the mind, of the sprit, or magical. Various creatures may have specific resistances or weaknesses to specific types. Magical diseases can subject to dispel effects as an object. The roll against dispel defense instead counts as a roll for Treatment to Attack Disease.
Exposure
Events that bring the possibility of becoming infected. Each has its own method of exposure.
Overexposure
When exposed to the same disease multiple times at once, the effect gains +1d12 on Infection attack rolls for each beyond the first.
Infection
Each disease has an Infection Tier. Once exposed, the disease attacks with a number of d12 equal to Tier. On success, the creature becomes infected and the incubation and latent periods begin.
Latent Period
Diseases that are contagious have a Latent Period that is the amount of time that must pass before the creature can become the source of exposure to other creatures.
Incubation Period
The Incubation Period is the amount of time that must pass before the creature begins showing symptoms of the disease, causing the effect to take place. Symptoms have a Tier representing how easy they are to identify. If the creature already has the disease, remove any reduction to the effect of the disease.
Frequency, Attack, and Modify
Once a disease has taken hold, it will continue to attack after each time is frequency passes. The attack specifies how many d12 to attack with and what skill is used for defense. When the attack succeeds, increase the potency of the condition listed in modify by 1. If the attack fails, reduce the modify condition by 1. If this reduces the value to 0, the disease ends. While the disease is ongoing, its effects cannot be reduced or removed by any other effect.
