Being highly social creatures the following disease might actually be accepted as normal inside a warren and might have spread quite widely amongst the masses.  Infected Kobold Warrior Level 4 Skirmisher Small Natural Humanoid (reptile) XP 175  Initiative +8 Senses Perception +1, darkvision HP 52; Bloodied 26; see The Foaming Yips AC 18; Fortitude 16, Reflex 17, Will 15 Immune disease Speed 6  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Bite (Standard; at-will) Attack +9 vs. AC; 1d6+2 damage; on hit secondary attack +7 vs. Fortitude; on hit target contracts The Yips (disease, see notes)  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Javelin Stab (Standard; at-will) ♦ weaponAttack +9 vs. AC; 1d8+4 damage  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/r.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":ranged:" title="Ranged    :ranged:" data-shortname=":ranged:" /> Javelin Throw (Standard; at-will) ♦ weaponRange 10/20; attack +9 vs. AC; 1d6+4 damage; if kobold has moved at least 4 squares before making this attack it deals an additional 1d6 damage  Trap Sense Kobold gains a +2 bonus to all defences against traps  Very Shifty (Minor; at-will) Kobold shifts 2 squares  The Foaming Yips (Immediate Reaction) ♦ when bloodiedWhile bloodied Kobold enters a wild state as its disease accelerates making its mouth foam madly. When Kobold has combat advantage against a target it deals an additional 1d6 damage with its bite attack and the secondary attack vs. Fortitude gains a +2 bonus to hit  Alignment Evil Languages common, draconic Skills Acrobatics +11, Dungeoneering +6, Stealth +11 Str 14 (+4) Dex 18 (+6) Wis 8 (+1) Con 12 (+3) Int 12 (+3) Cha 13 (+3) Equipment 3x Javelin, light armour  The Yips (level 4 disease)At the start of each day the infected creature either makes an Endurance check or an ally who has been treating them may make a heal check against the following targets: Worsen: 16 or lessMaintain: 17 to 20Improve: 21 or more (sorry about the formatting but this forum doesn't like tabs or indentation<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />) -2Cured. -1Infected shows no symptoms, until bloodied when they show signs of a slight regression. When bloodied infected takes a -1 penalty to Will defence. InitialInfected has a slight temperature but otherwise exhibits no symptoms until they become bloodied when they become reckless and over excited. When bloodied infected takes a -1 penalty to Will defence and to all attack rolls except basic attacks. +1Infected runs a definite temperature and is in a constant state of curious excitement which gets more pronounced when bloodied. Infected gains a +1 bonus to speed but takes a -1 penalty to Will defence and all attack rolls except from basic attacks. When bloodied the penalty to Will defence increases from -1 to -2. +2Infected has difficulty staying still and finds it difficult to concentrate. They also tend to talk a lot, usually in excited and practically incoherent bursts. When bloodied the infected starts to foam at the mouth and have an overpowering need to bite their enemies. Infected gains a +1 bonus to speed but takes a -2 penalty to Will defence and all attack rolls except from basic attacks. When bloodied they gain the following basic attack which they must use instead of any other attack: <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Bite (at will; standard)Attack STR or DEX + ½ level +2 vs. AC; 1d6+STR damage; on hit secondary attack STR or CON + ½ level +2 vs. Fortitude; on hit target contracts The Yips disease.  The above is for a minor case of the Yips, it is more than likely that there are several different strains of the disease with varied and more lethal symptoms and effects.</blockquote>
