Spore Rot (5e Disease)
From D&D Wiki
Spore Rot[edit]
Contracting[edit]
Spore Rot is contracted by breathing in the spores that the disease produces.
Effects[edit]
Stage 1:
Symptoms do not begin to show until 1d12+constitution days after the spores are breathed in.
Stage 2:
The first symptom is the infected's skin begins to either turn a shade of green or red (the color makes no difference).
Stage 3:
After 1d10 days of the skin change, fungal growths begin to appear on the infected body.
At this time the infected will begin to lose 1d4-constitution (minimum of 1) hp every day.
When they reach 0 they automatically die.
Stage 4:
These growths will grow for 1d4 days until they are the size of about 1 inch.
Stage 5:
When the growths reach one inch they will burst, and spread new spores out to infect more creatures (the spores are viable for about 7 days).
Trying to remove the growths will have the same effect.
Even when the infected have died the growths will continue their cycle until they burst.
Treatment[edit]
Spore Rot can be cured with greater restoration cast at 8th level or with a potion brewed from the sap from a Purple Star Tree (There are only three in existence to my knowledge), ironwood dust, and pure water.
