== Zombie Plague ==
“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.
''Uncommon Disease''


''Lethality: Extreme''
Diseases are categorized in the same way as poisons, with Rarity, Lethality, and Transmissibility.


''Transmissibility: High''
Disease stat blocks have five parts: Infection, Outbreak, Contagion, Symptoms, and Treatment.


==== Application ====
'''Infection''' explains what must happen for a creature to become infected.
A creature gains [[Zombie]] Plague when they are hit with a Zombie’s bite attack and the secondary infection attack that comes with it.


==== '''Symptoms''' ====
'''Outbreak''' is an optional tool that an MC can use when facilitating the outbreak of a disease.
An infected creature gains the following symptoms at the start of each of the following days (after Taking a Rest, if they were able to Rest). The effects are cumulative.


'''Until Treated:''' Gain Fatigue twice.
'''Contagion''' explains how quickly the disease might spread, and how to determine whether it spreads to certain heroes or relevant NPCs.


'''Upon Death:''' Become a Zombie in 1d4 hours.
'''Symptoms''' convey on an hour-by-hour or day-by-day basis what happens to an infected creature.


==== Treatment ====
'''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.
Curing the Zombie Plague requires one or more INT/Medicine checks. Each check must include herbs and medicinal salves worth at least 20 sc each, which the process consumes. A creature cannot receive more than 1 check per 24 hours. When a creature makes this check, note the numerical result and add it to any previous checks from this instance of Zombie Plague. When the numerical results reach a cumulative total of 40, the infection is cured.

“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.
