Necromancy Focus and Contagion

Post by The Rambling Midget » Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:12 pm

When cast on a PC, and with the aid of Greater Spell Focus: Necromancy, Contagion infects its target with a plague which turns them into a universally hostile shambling mindless automaton for a brief period. (Like zombie night back in 2009, or whenever it was.) Can only be cured by Remove Disease.

Bonus Points: The plague enters a dormancy phase upon expiration, after which it presents at limited random intervals until cured. Spreads on touch, like Lycanthropy, but with a save.

This makes me think of the plague that World of Warcraft did. OMGrasshoppers, it was completely awesome and Actual CDC people ended up using what happened as a real study of vectors and based a few new models after what WoW did.

Yevon - it would have been safer for me to walk around Wharftown proclaiming Bane to be the god of love and pink frills.
