UNHOLY PLAGUE

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: 1 Act
Subject: City
Range: Long
Action: Simple
Many don’t consider that the other side of health is pestilence. With your divine wrath, you can send a plague to a city or town. The success of the plague is determined by rolling Medicine + Intellect (Difficulty 3). Tier 1 characters suffer the disease automatically.
Tier 2 characters receive a Complication that they need to overcome or suffer the disease and receive a −1 to their Stamina. Tier 3 characters may overcome the disease by rolling Survival + Stamina (Difficulty 3) or suffer the disease and receive a −1 to their Stamina.
The virulence of the disease may also be increased by any 2 successes above the basic difficulty. You may choose to add any of the following:

  • God’s Death (2 successes): Increase the difficulty by 1 for any Tier 3 characters. This may be purchased up to Difficulty 5.
  • Fatigue (2 successes): Add an extra Complication to Tier 1, 2, and 3 characters. Unless the Complication is bought off, the character suffers immense fatigue and finds it difficult to perform complex actions.
  • Deadly Plague (4 successes): Tier 1 characters succumb to the plague and die unless they make a successful roll of Survival + Stamina (difficulty 3). Tier 2 and Tier 3 characters take 1 damage if they succumb to the disease.0
