[QUOTE="Virindi, post: 4511364, member: 70777"] [I]I have some questions disease tracks and treating disease. I understand how a player gets them. I am just a little confused hows it is treated(aside from rituals which seem straight forward to curing a disease) Someone help me out. I know the disease tracks DC's have been errata'd.[/I] [I] My questions are do the infected player make an endurance check and the healer makes a heal check and then the infected person can choose the better of the two rolls? The DMG reads as if the heal check is what counts? The PHB reads like you take the best of either roll? Also if the player doing the heal check is watching over the infected dude, as described below in the PHB. Does the healer not benefit from the extended rest?[/I] On page 50 of the DMG reads; [B]Heal skill[/B]: An ally can use the Heal check [U]in place[/U] of your endurance check to help you recover from a disease, as described in the [I]Player's Handbook[/I]. [I]Now the Player's Handbook reads:[/I] [B]Treat Disease[/B] Make a Heal check to treat a character suffering from a disease. Chapter 3 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide has more information about disease. [B]Treat Disease[/B]: Part of the diseased character’s extended rest. You must attend the character periodically throughout the extended rest, and you make your Heal check when the rest ends. [IMG]http://ww2.wizards.com/dnd/images/bullet.gif[/IMG] Replaces Endurance: Your Heal check[U] result determines[/U] the disease’s effects [U]if the result is higher [/U]than the diseased character’s Endurance check result. Thanks in advance for any clarifications. [/QUOTE]
