Putrefactor

Putrefactor

The Disease has affected you differently from others. Where others are merely shambling remains of their former selves, you are a bloated mass of infection and disease. Pus oozes from open wounds on your skin, and a foul stench of death accompanies you wherever you go. Harnessing this infection, you can spread disease and poison to others, leaving them clinging to life in your wake. 

Automatic Talents:

Diseased Blood – Enemies that bite you take 1d6 poison damage. In addition, when you become bloodied each enemy adjacent to you takes 1d6 poison damage.

Diseased Saliva – You can spit at enemies adjacent to you. Treat this as a ranged attack that requires a minor action, and does not provoke opportunity attacks. This attack deals 1d4 poison damage. In addition, your bite attacks deal an additional 1d4 poison damage.

• Consumptive Infection: When you make a successful bite or spit attack against a creature, that creature becomes infected by your Consumptive Infection.

A creature inflicted with this infection must pass a Resilience test (DC = 10 + ½ your Putrefactor class level) at the start of its turn or take 1d6 poison damage. The first time a creature succeeds on a Resilience test against the effect, the infection is removed. Note: A creature only takes this damage once per turn.

• Accelerated Infection: Whenever a creature fails the Resilience test to resist your Consumptive Infection, it takes 1d6 additional poison damage for each consecutive time it has failed this test (1d6 the first test it fails, 2d6 the second test it fails, and so on).
