Zombies and Disease
The thread, "Do Skeletons Decay" caused me to think about Zombies. A couple of thoughts have grown out of that.
First, as food for thought, a newly created Zombie, depending on how long he has been dead and what he died from, could be very effective as a vector for spreading disease throughout a population.
Second, that led to the idea of some sort of Cause Disease spell. It wouldn't be an effective combat spell, as any disease, magical or otherwise, would have an incubation period. But it could be used effectively as a tool for assassination.
Thoughts anyone.
