    Functionally, diseases and poisons are useless over the long term, especially once Heroes reach Tier III. Though they may plague large populations, the two spells of Cure Affliction and Cleanse the Blood are essentially no-cost insta-cures, all easily castable by any Divine spellcaster (Tier I and Tier III respectively). Is there some way to make diseases and pestilence actually a threat, given this? Am I missing something in my assessment? I’m interested in all your constructive thoughts on this matter.

    Well, Cure Affliction is for natural diseases only.

    However, you bring up a good point, once Tier III Cleanse the Blood is the answer. I suppose not knowing you were diseased is always a way around it. However, in all game systems, there’s always a cure for those things later on.

    there is something I have been working on for chroniclers…

    Deceases will have a defense value which must be surpassed by the caster, the spell will also be errata’d to state a person may only be the target of the spell once per day…..

    also plan in increasing the casting time to 30 min

    Sounds like good changes. Will the same changes be made for Poisons?

    Poisons will have a defense, and each “miss” speeds the poison up \":)\"

    I’m evil that way
