[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4421310, member: 386"] I wrote up a new "disease" that I might use in an upcoming Keep on the Shadowfell session. It's not a disease, though, it's a curse; I just thought the disease track would work well. Here it is: The Will of Orcus Level 11 Disease The curse wracks your body with pain, necrotic energy spreading through you in spasms of pain. Attack: Failure in the skill challenge I am going to set up. Endurance: Improve DC 24, Maintain DC 19, Worsen DC 18 or lower The target is cured. <- Initial Effect: The target loses one healing surge that it cannot regain until cured. <-> The target regains only half the normal number of hit points from healing effects. In addition, it takes 10 necrotic damage which cannot be healed until cured. <-> Each time the target is bloodied, it gains ongoing 10 necrotic damage (save ends). -> Final State: The target is dazed. Special: Cure Disease will not cure the target; for that, a Remove Affliction is neccessary. All effects are negated if the target does the will of the creature who inflicted the target with the curse, though the target is not cured. If the person who inflicted the curse upon the target is killed, the curse is cured. Any thoughts? Should I use another, standard disease? Is it too high level? Should I use another mechanic?
