| * A "**Never Healing Wound**" reduces maximum HP by **20%**, since healing magic and Regeneration can't fix it. Likewise, this makes future Afflictions 25% more likely to occur. | * A "**Never Healing Wound**" reduces maximum HP by **20%**, since healing magic and Regeneration can't fix it.

| * {{:abilities:disease.png?nolink }} __**Disease**__ from an infected wound is a horrifying fate, one that acts slowly but catches rather quickly in battle. The body becomes fixated on trying to fight the Disease, and thus **does not heal outside of battle**, though healing magic and Regeneration work during the heart-pounding thrill of combat. Every month, a diseased being slowly withers away, **losing HP** (though not //maximum// HP, fortunately) equal to 10% of their max. Lastly, **new Afflictions may form** each turn on Diseased units. You'll be happy to know that units in Dominions are very good at quarantining; Disease never spreads between units. | * {{:abilities:disease.png?nolink }} __**Disease**__ from an infected wound is a horrifying fate, one that acts slowly but catches rather quickly in battle. Every month, a diseased being rolls its [[disease-resistance|Disease Resistance]], and a unit with none of it fails automatically. If it fails a roll: |
| | * it **loses HP** equal to a tenth of its base HP, rounded off at random; |
| | * it **regains none of its lost HP** that month; |
| | * and a **new Affliction may form**, at 10% if the unit has [[Regeneration]] and 15% if it does not. A [[cursed|Cursed]] unit adds **50 points** to whichever of those two applies, so a cursed diseased unit forms an affliction at **60%** with Regeneration and **65%** without. |
| | * [[Undead]] units are skipped entirely and never suffer any of it, and healing magic and Regeneration go on working during battle for everyone else. |
| | * The monthly loss is booked as a lasting wound, and a diseased unit is the one case where those wounds are **never wiped at the start of a month**, so the ceiling it can be healed back up to sinks a little further every month until the disease kills it. This is why the loss feels permanent, but it is not: cure the Disease and the whole accumulated total is returned on the following turn, unlike a **Never Healing Wound**. |
| | * You'll be happy to know that units in Dominions are very good at quarantining; Disease never spreads between units. The battlefield [[auras#plague|Plague]] is a separate effect that //does// spread, and being infected by it is not the same as being Diseased. |
| * Units who are [[old-age|old]] have a chance to get Diseased at the start of the eleventh month of the year (Turn 10, and every 12th turn after that). The chance of this happening increases with {{:misc:scales:death.png?15&nolink}}[[Scales|Death scales]] in their province, and decreases with Growth scales. | * Units who are [[old-age|old]] have a chance to get Diseased at the start of the eleventh month of the year (Turn 10, and every 12th turn after that).
