[QUOTE="OnlineDM, post: 5439991, member: 90804"] I wrote up a custom disease called Delirium Fever [URL="http://onlinedm.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/disease-delirium-fever/"]on my blog[/URL] a little while ago and just realized that I should probably share it here as well. I find that there aren't a lot of disease options out there in 4th Edition, which is a shame - I think the mechanic is rather interesting.
