[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4429669, member: 54846"] Glad you could finally post without the board eating you, Cwheeler. :) As I understand it, you only make saving throws every Extended Rest. So, even if you rolled horribly every time, it would still take Four Days (or at least, four extended rests) before you've got the neon "POSSESS ME" sign over your head. The virus originated "locally". A nearby dungeon is actually the origin, and I plan on letting this slip soon after the PCs are exposed (in fact, the seeds have all ready been planted). I anticipate they load up and go after the source ASAP, in hopes for a cure. If that doesn't work, or it looks like it's going to take some time to solve matters, finding talismans should work. The virus has completely overtaken a colony, but the native peoples of the area have been battling the demonic-possessed colony for about five years now; they've developed their own protections and immunities while fighting the possessed in that length of time. Correct. The PCs have actually the fantasy equivalent of a "Pocket translator", but I will say that even though the translator is "translating", they're still speaking it out loud (and thus exposing people for infection). Also, the translator takes a little while to process new languages, so there will be a period of being in the dark before they can communicate at all. This will leave the wizard with his Comprehend Languages ritual to shine for a little (until he succumbs to the virus; he has I think a +1 to Endurance, period). [/QUOTE]
