Theodore Buisseaux:

Characters may get diseases. All diseases have the following characteristics:

=Diseases in ME=

In Medieval Europe, it's possible to catch diseases. Currently, four diseases can be caught:

* Plague
* Bleeding Wound
* Tipsiness
* Drunkenness

=How can a character get a disease?=

A character may get a disease for a game mechanic, or from another character.

=How can a character be cured from a disease?=

Only a member of a Church can cure a disease, provide that the Church owns the correct Dogma Bonuses. The diseases curable by a Member of a Church are Plague, Bleeding Wound.
Alternatively, a player can buy an [[Elixir of Cure Disease]], a premium bonus item purchased with doubloons.

=What happens to a character that is infected with a disease?=

Every disease, after some time and until is not cured:

* Applies effects to a character (for example, some Health Points are taken off);
* If it's infective, tries to infect other characters.

Some disease effects cannot apply in some circumstances:

=Plague=

The plague is usually started by Administration. '''The first outburst is reported to have happened on 19 January 1314'''. [http://www.medieval-europe.eu/index.php/character/publicprofile/1 Guglielmo di Valenza] was reported to be the infector. This can be guessed by this [http://blog.medieval-europe.eu/2014/01/20/a-bad-omen/ post].

'''A second infection happened in April 1316''', caused by [http://www.medieval-europe.eu/index.php/character/publicprofile/39936 Nekro Phoro] (see this [http://blog.medieval-europe.eu/2016/03/19/nekro-revenge/ post].

Plague is the worst disease you can catch, and some character deaths have been reported. When a character has got the Plague, this symbol will appear on his public profile: [[File:Plague.png]]

This disease cannot be cured by a Church Member.
