[QUOTE="Mesh Hong, post: 5023171, member: 73463"] I would add another state between initial and cured. I would have a look at the (level 8) Remove Affliction ritual and realise that it renders all even level diseases and curses trivial. I would increase the DCs of the arcana checks, possibly to 26/21/20. In my experience diseases and curses are as close to pointless as you can get if the group can cast remove affliction. In order to make a disease or curse dangerous or even noticable you need to make it a higher level than the PCs. I recently tried out a "fast acting disease" that required checks at the end of each encounter (and didn't give the PCs enough time to cast remove affliction) which worked alright, but it was even level and the group still shrugged it off without any real problems. Sorry if this sounds a bit turse but I am pressed for time :hmm: [/QUOTE]
