[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6495830, member: 221"] I would suspect you want something that is meaningful, mostly harmless, and does not require extensive amounts of book-keeping. For non-magical afflictions, an affliction of the throat strikes me as particularly believable and noteworthy. An affliction of the throat where the PC's voice becomes always raspy and sometimes is little more than a raspy whisper is a genuine affliction (oft accompanied by difficulty swallowing most foods) which is bothersome but not immediately life threatening. It would require healing magically or be permanent. Or alternately, if you want something more fantastic, he is stricken with a fever which lasts for 24 hours, but then is gone. However, he is left with an allergy to raw positive energy so that healing magics, while curing hp's also cause Constitution damage. The more often he is healed, the sicker he becomes. This would count as a curse and would need to be healed via remove curse. [/QUOTE]
