GIANT WASP EGG INFESTATION--- Level 3 Disease

Special Notes: Any attempt to use the Heal skill to replace a saving throw causes the victim to lose a healing surge after his extended rest is complete (because the techniques used to attempt to treat the eggs are necessarily invasive).

Endurance improve DC 19, maintain DC 16, worsen DC 15 or lower

Cured < Initial Effect < > Worsening Condition > Final State

Cured: The victim’s body breaks down any eggs or larva remaining in his system, and he is cured.

Initial Effect: The victim is slowed (until cured) by the painful swelling of the eggs in its body and the toxins running through its system. It also loses a healing surge (until cured).

Worsening Condition: The victim is immobilized by pain and venom. It loses all healing surges.

Final State: The eggs inside the victim’s body hatch and the larva devour it from within, killing it.
