Description
Diseases are a type of status effect in For The King. They were added with the Lost Civilization Adventure Pack. Each disease has distinct symptoms that will affect characters in unique ways.
Diseases will get progressively worse if not removed, with their effects capable of stacking up to three times. An afflicted character is capable of spreading that Disease to other party members.
Types of Diseases
There are currently three different Diseases in For The King. Each disease brings with it a variety of basic symptoms, and each will affect characters in different ways:
| Disease | Basic Symptoms | Bonus | Health Penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chaos Fever | -2 Armor | +2 Resistance | -10% Max HP |
| Jungle Rot | 2 Damage per turn | +5 Evasion | -10% Max HP |
| Stone Skin | -5% Evasion | +2 Armor | -10% Max HP |
As stated above, these symptoms will progress through three stages over time, with their effects increasing at each stage of the disease. Diseases can be cured at any stage (see below for more information).
Catching Diseases
Diseases are generally spread via encounters with enemies from the Lost Civilization Adventure Pack. For the most part, creatures who are contagious are rather obvious, usually by their name or appearance. That being said, be wary of enemies such as The Witchdoctor, who can raise Diseased Corpses from the dead to harry weary adventurers traveling the Overworld.
Curing diseases
Diseases are classified as an Ailment, and as such, can be removed like any other affliction of the type:
- Consuming Herbs such as Panax.
- Curing the Disease away.
- Visiting a Disease Healer.
- Paying for the service in a Town.
- Various other items and equipment.
