Shadowflame Corruption (5e Disease)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: What happens if the gem is lost or even the pc doesn't want to immediately use it and hence is stuck with this disease?
|
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Diseases need saving throws and shouldn't ruin play for a player which changing alignment does. Diseases also shouldn't provide benefits should as becoming immune to a damage type or gaining a spell. Overall, the mechanics behind how this disease works needs to almost entirely be reworked.
