	~~Diseases are categorized in the same way as poisons, with Rarity, Lethality, and Transmissibility. Disease stat blocks have five parts: Infection, Outbreak, Contagion, Symptoms, and Treatment.~~

	~~'''Infection''' explains what must happen for~~ a ~~creature~~ to ~~become infected~~.		“Disease” is a term used loosely in this context to refer to any sort of pathogenic alien entity that enters one’s body. This could technically be a disease, infection, or virus, but all three are simply referred to as diseases for the purposes of game mechanics.

	~~'''Outbreak''' is an optional tool that an MC can use when facilitating~~ the ~~outbreak of a disease~~.		Diseases are categorized in the same way as poisons, with Rarity, Lethality, and Transmissibility.

	~~'''~~Contagion~~''' explains how quickly the disease might spread~~, and ~~how to determine whether it spreads to certain heroes or relevant NPCs~~.		Disease stat blocks have five parts: Infection, Outbreak, Contagion, Symptoms, and Treatment.

	'''~~Symptoms~~''' ~~convey on an hour-by-hour or day-by-day basis~~ what ~~happens~~ to an infected ~~creature~~.		'''Infection''' explains what must happen for a creature to become infected.

	'''~~Treatment~~''' ~~informs you on~~ the ~~steps you must take to cure~~ a disease. This will typically involve making multiple INT/ Medicine check. Certain expensive ingredients or magical healing abilities might make this process easier or be required to even attempt this process.<blockquote>Some Notes:		'''Outbreak''' is an optional tool that an MC can use when facilitating the outbreak of a disease.

	* Cumulative Symptoms persist until stated otherwise. The MC may also rule that certain ~~circumstances, such as receiving Greater Restoration, may end a symptom early~~.		'''Contagion''' explains how quickly the disease might spread, and how to determine whether it spreads to certain heroes or relevant NPCs.

	* A quick note for epidemiology nerds and other smart people: The term “disease” is used here despite its inaccuracy as an ~~umbrella term for any disease, infection,~~ or ~~virus~~. ~~Furthermore, some of these diseases have been highly fictionalized and have had fantastical elements added~~ to ~~them~~. This ~~is not intended to represent any real world medical information~~ and ~~should not~~ be ~~used in such a fashion~~.		'''Symptoms''' convey on an hour-by-hour or day-by-day basis what happens to an infected creature.
	* If your table is uncomfortable with some disease names, here are [[Alternative Names for re-world diseases.]]
