Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buttercup" data-source="post: 1009399" data-attributes="member: 990">Lake FeverThis disease is carried by the mosquitoes that breed around the shores of Lake Sabin.  It can be prevented by drinking a cup of Bluewood Resin tea once a week.  Trouble is, Buewood grows only in the Barand desert far to the south.  The folk who live around Lake Sabin rely on the three caravans each year that come up their way from the Barand.  Once bitten by a mosquito carrying Lake Fever, the person must succeed at a DC10 Fortitude save or catch the disease.  The incubation period is one week, during which the person will show no symptoms.  Additional Fortitude saves may be made each day.  If all are failed, at the end of the incubation period, the person will be overcome by fever, muscle aches and vomiting, and 1 point of CON loss per day.  There are three ways to recover at this point.  1. Succeed in a DC 15 Fortitude save, which will mean your immune system has conquered the disease and you will begin recovering the next day.  2. A Remove Disease spell.  3. Letting the disease run its course, which it will do in 2d6 days.  Of course, if your constitution score drops to zero before then, you'll be pushing up the daisies.A person who has naturally survived Lake Fever (through methods 1 and 3 above) will have a lifetime immunity to it.</blockquote>
