Diptheria (3.5e Disease)

Diptheria is also referred to as bull's neck disease, due to the fact that it can cause a person's neck to swell incredibly. It causes general fever, fatigue and sore throats, but is not usually fatal. A secondary infection may cause lesions (as the ability damage above). People suffering diptheria appear very pale and have a fast heartbeat.

If the PC fails the check by more than 10 points, s/he becomes fatigued instead of nauseated and suffers the ability damage (1d3 Con) mentioned above.
