+|Disease is a catch-all term for any number of slow-acting sicknesses, curses, or afflictions. At the end of any exploration turn in which you've been exposed to a disease, roll a trigger die. If the result is 7+, you're fine. If not, you caught it. Make this check a maximum of once per exploration turn no matter how much exposure you suffered. \\ \\ When you catch a disease, you immediately gain the effects of an injury determined by the specific disease you caught. Once per in-game day, you must make a progression check by rolling a trigger die (if you do nothing that day except get bed rest you can roll twice and take the higher result): \\ - 9+: The disease is removed. You immediately lose the effects of its associated injury (assuming you didn't already have the same injury some other way). \\ - 5-8: Nothing happens. You don't get better, but you don't get worse either. \\ - 1-4: You take a -1 penalty to maximum Flesh as the disease ravages your body. This can happen multiple times, and its effects stack. Maximum Flesh comes back at the end of the session if you manage to throw off the disease, but otherwise does not. Also, a single random party member or important NPC that you've interacted with since getting infected must immediately roll for exposure from the same disease. \\ \\ All diseases are made of two parts: a **descriptor** (determines which injury the disease's effects replicate) and an **expression** (alters the basic rules for how the disease progresses/appears). For example, a disease with the Delirium descriptor and the Fits expression would be called the Delirium Fits. Specific diseases can be selected by the referee or rolled up randomly from the lists below. |
-two parts: descriptor (determines what injury the disease can turn into) and expression (determines... something, maybe special effect for each that alters the base rules for get sick->sicker->die)
-at end of any exploration turn in which you were exposed, roll. 1-6 means you now have the associated injury
-roll 1/day: 9+ remove sickness, 1-4 -1 maximum Flesh (get them back one at a time per day of bed rest), 1-2 one creature you've been in contact with gains exposure and might catch it too. if you got bed rest all day you can roll twice and take the better result. healer treatment removes subject's disease automatically on die result of 12

+|1. **Ailment.** The disease is thrown off with a progression check of 5+ instead of 9+. However, it comes back again at the beginning of every session. It can only be gotten rid of permanently by rolling a 12 on the progression check. |
+|2. **Disorder.** If you intentionally and successfully infect 2 other creatures with the disease, you automatically get a result of 12 on your next progression check to remove it. |
+|3. **Distemper.** Bed rest does not allow you to roll twice and take the better result on progression checks with this disease. |
+|4. **Fever.** When the progression check is 1-2, lose access to one known archetype/ability of your choice. Regain it when you throw the disease off. |
+|5. **Fits.** You can choose to roll progression checks any time you want instead of only once per day, potentially removing the disease or making it much worse very quickly. |
+|6. **Malaise.** Whenever you lose Energy for any reason, every other creature within 2 meters of your location is exposed to the disease immediately afterward. |
+|7. **Phage.** If the progression die is a 1, the associated injury becomes permanent and lasts even after the disease is removed. |
+|8. **Plague.** Every time you make a progression check, one random party member or important NPC that you've interacted with since getting infected must immediately roll for exposure from the same disease instead of this only happening when you roll a 1-4. |
+|9. **Pox.** You look very obviously and grotesquely ill. Others will generally want nothing to do with you while you're infected. |
+|10. **Rot.** When the progression check is 1-2, take a -1 penalty to one combat rating (Melee, Remote, Whelm) of your choice. Negate it when you throw the disease off. |
+|11. **Sickness.** Take a -1 penalty to maximum Flesh when the progression check is 1-6 instead of only 1-4. |
+|12. **Torment.** The disease is only thrown off with a progression check of 11+ instead of 9+. |
