Disease (Dungeon Fantasy)

Dungeon Fantasy isn't filthy, but it can get unhygenic when you're far from the clean rivers and anachronistic hand-soaps of town. The following is a small collection of diseases and maladies the Player Characters might run into, and how they're dealt with in-genre. Note that this list is for avoiding and curing ongoing diseases--it does not cover instant toxic effects, such as toxic spores from a Fungus.
== Common Maladies ==
These diseases use a simplified hit or miss system.
Disease 	Caused 	HT 	Effects
Common Malaise 	Several diseases. This is a shorthand for one of the main side effects. 	-- 	-1 to all Attributes (and their affected Skills) until cured. Cure Disease is often required.
Brown Mold Malaise 	Caused by interacting with Brown Mold. 	HT-4	-2 to all Attributes (and their affected Skills) until cured. This also gives -1 to Defenses. Requires a proper day of Esoteric Medicine, or Cure Disease. Roll hourly if still exposed!
Gray Putrefaction 	Caused by interacting with Gray Mold. 	HT-4	Causes parts of the body to slowly turn to an awful goo. Those afflicted by this cannot simply be healed back up--you must cure the underlying disease! Requires Cure Disease or Esoteric Medicine. Roll hourly if still exposed!
Sewer Rot 	Bites from sewer creatures--typically, Giant Rats. 	HT+0	Effectively causes Common Malaise.
Shakes, TheDFRPG: Monsters, p.21	Bites from nasty carnivores, such as dinomen, predatory bats, rats, and mosquitoes. Legend says this can also be caused by eating sapient creature meat--or in the case of Corpse-Eaters, not eating enough of it.	HT+0	-2 to DX and DX-based skills. Presumably from tremors and twitchiness. No toxic damage listed.
Unhealthy Spores 	A short-range defense of exotic Fungus. They do no immediate damage, but symptoms show up the next day. 	HT-6	Coughing (-3 to DX, -1 to IQ, cannot use Stealth) and Wheezing (-3 to FP). Requires Cure Disease or a proper day of Esoteric Medicine. It's a tricky affliction.
