“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.

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.

Outbreak is an optional tool that an MC can use when facilitating the outbreak of a disease.

Contagion explains how quickly the disease might spread, and how to determine whether it spreads to certain heroes or relevant NPCs.

Symptoms convey on an hour-by-hour or day-by-day basis what happens to an infected creature.

Treatment informs you on the steps you must take to cure a disease. This will typically involve making multiple INT/Medicine checks, and certain expensive ingredients or magical healing abilities might make this process easier or might be required to even attempt this process.
