Alter disease can
have many different effects, but the miracle worker may only choose one per
use. Minimal success makes the disease incommunicable, making spread of
the contagion impossible. An Average result will slow the effects of a
disease, causing it to take twice as long to run its course as
normal.Converse1y, it can also be used to speed the effects of a disease,
halving the time the victim must suffer the infection.
On a Superior success, the target character
receives a +3 bonus to their healing roll (see page 19 of the Torg Rulebook)
to fight off the disease. On a Spectacular success, the way in which
the disease is transmitted may be altered in any way the focus character sees
fit, as long as the method conforms to one in which a disease can spread
(touch, air borne contagion, etc.) The difficulty of alter disease is
modified depending on the nature of the disease.
