A terrible black plague kills half the population. But those few that survive gain magical abilities from their feverish dreams.

This guy crunched some numbers http://simantics.blogspot.se/2011/01/d-and-iq.html?m=1 I have not checked them. But according to his table int 5 would be 72. Dull, but not retarded.

I am slightly dissapointed, but it is probably for the best :)

Aliens? In or out?
