Chultan Diseases

The Chultan Peninsula is full of life and wonders found nowhere else in Faerûn. This includes the diseases found within the marshy jungles and turbulent rivers. Diseases in Chult are more difficult to cure than most other diseases. This is a homebrew change to make diseases more relevant for explorers in Chult:

• Diseases follow a linear stages system similar to 4e D&D or Pathfinder. These stages are changed by succeeding or failing on daily saving throws. The effects of progressive stages of a disease stack on top of each other. This means that an infected creature at stage 3 is subject to all of the ailments described in stages 1 and 2 as well as 3.
• The Spell lesser restoration does not automatically remove a disease, but it does decrease the stage that the infected creature is afflicted with by 1.

These homebrew changes are under testing and are subject to change.
