A Pox Upon You! (4e)
Diseases are all around us! From tiny bacteria to deadly viruses¸ our bodies are constantly under attack from ravening hordes of microscopic attackers. Though if you roleplay in a fantasy D&D world we'll forgive you if you had forgotten this fact. With only a handful of diseases in the game most characters rarely encounter a disease¸ let alone suffer from a cold. Have no fear! A Pox Upon You! remedies this issue and provides you with over 25 new fantasy diseases for your game! Not satisfied with diseases of our fancy? Want something that'll bring a little touch of home to your fantasy sick ward? A Pox Upon You! has that as well with over 25 Earth-based diseases¸ from anthrax to yellow fever.
A Pox Upon You! also provides a new use for the heal skill¸ new powers¸ rituals¸ two new paragon classes and more equipment and magic items than you can shake a tongue depressor at. And did we mention the monsters? These creatures are vectors for a multitude of diseases that will keep your players on their toes (well - mostly on their back as they recover from their illnesses).
When you purchase A Pox Upon You! you also receive a set of cards with all the diseases¸ powers and monsters featured in the book. Print out the diseases and hand them out to characters so they constantly know what afflicts them¸ add the new powers to your repertoire¸ and make combat a snap with the monster cards.
