Manu Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I had an idea... Why do disease spirits attack humans? Why not doing a covert possession (or even full possession) on animals (like horses, donkey or even chicken, sheep, ...). it is a lot easier (they should have very low spirit combat) and as they are close to humans, it is easy to contaminate. And every animal infected that dies (it can be quick) creates a new disease spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every animal infected that dies (it can be quick) creates a new disease spirit. Because disease spirits aren't intelligent enough to do so (they have no INT characteristic). But that just begs the question—why don't Mallia shamans do this? I suspect the answer is "something something wyter fighting disease spirits in the tula." I don't know enough to speak more authoritatively. Quote Jonstown Compendium author. Find my publications here. Disclaimer: affiliate link.

Akhôrahil Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Surely some disease spirits do this to animals? That’s how we get epidemics among the herds. But only some disease spirits can do this, and many of those instead don’t affect people, or at least not as badly. Lords of Terror even has disease spirits for plant life, with a Malia shaman who has learned how to handle such spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
