Disease Diptheria

Diptheria

From D&D Wiki

Name: Diptheria (Ex)
Infection DC: 16 (Contact, Inhalation
Incubation: 1 week
Damage: Nauseated or fatigued, possible ability damage (1d3 Constitution)

Diptheria is also referred to as bull’s neck disease, due to the fact that it can cause a person’s neck to swell incredibly. It causes general fever, fatigue and sore throats, but is not usually fatal. A secondary infection may cause lesions (as the ability damage above). People suffering diptheria appear very pale and have a fast heartbeat. If the PC fails the check by more than 10 points, s/he becomes fatigued instead of nauseated and suffers the ability damage (1d3 Constitution) mentioned above.
