LOL, yeah I was kind of surprised by that too. I guess you better make sure you have a really good cleric if you want to get cured reliably.

Same as all the other things tossed down the white cliffs of Nerf. They got a bug up the bum over them and threw a fit of designer rage.CleverNickName said:

I think it's pretty interesting.
Maybe a save vs. scalpel is warranted, but still.

Personally, I'm raging more over the fact that MAZE now does damage.
I'm sure you've heard of malpractice right? Where you have people who don't know what they're doing, acting like doctors?
Same is true in D&D, now. You don't want someone trying to cure you of diseases if they don't have a good Heal skill.
Keep in mind; to have learned the ritual in your book, you've gotta be level 6. Presumably, you've got a positive Wisdom mod, and are trained in Heal, too... 1/2 level + 5(trained) + 3 (Wis) is... 11. The 'level of the disease' acts as a penalty, so say it's level 6, you're now at a +5. Odds aren't bad, 20% you take 100% damage, 50% take half damage, 30% take 1/4 damage. You can then sit and heal up by burning surges(with maybe a death stabilization heal check made by the healer in case of a bad roll). Given how bad disease tends to be, I'm guessing it'd be worth it, in a lot of cases. You might wait until after an extended rest (if you can) so you've got Surges to spend on recovering from being cured; but I'm sure it'll be used.

It's interesting, alright. I can see it already:Incenjucar said:
DM: Okay cleric, make a Heal check on the fighter.
Cleric: Oh no! Natural one!
DM: Um, the fighter is dead.
Figher: What?! It was just devil chills!
DM: That is true...
Figher: Then how am I dead? That isn't even a fatal disease!
DM: (scratching head) Well, um...I guess you...had a severe allergic reaction to those 'mystic salves' he used. Yeah.
Fighter: #@%#$!!
True, but making it potentially life-threatening isn't a step in the right direction IMO. Why can't the ritual simply fail? or does something only matter when it can kill you?FireLance said:
