Zombies and Disease

[warhorse11h]

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.

Somebody needs to write a Diseases of Cidri article touching on everything from Vampirism to Bloody Rider.

Alchemists and Chemists need to get some screen time otherwise it's Pathfinder (nearest infected) and then pack people four in a hex for Cleansing. Perhaps a variant of the Universal Antidote potion?

I don't know about diseases, but I would also like to see more options for alchemists.
