Leprosy

This state will cause the players limbs to drop off one by one in random intervals.

The message indicating being infected is : "You feel you're falling in pieces."

You can get leprosy from the following sources:

  • Eating leprosy-infected meat.
  • Being near a monster that has leprosy (such as a Zombie)
  • Putting back a bodypart that is infected (see below).

Leprosy can be cured with drinking antidote liquid, with a divine intervention from Seges, or by the Priests in New Attanam or in the Cathedral.

Actually, leprosy is not a player disease on the whole. Single limbs are infected by leprosy : that means that reattaching an infected limb (such as one which dropped down due to leprosy) also infects the player completely.

Lycanthropy

A state where you turn into a Werewolf occasionally. Eating werewolf flesh certainly will, or a magic effect from a fountain may cause this.

Parasites

If you see the message "Ugh. You feel something violently carving its way through your intestines." you have been infiltrated by a parasite. Every time this message appears, you lose some HP.

Right now (as in IVAN 0.50) there are two types of parasites :

  • Tapeworms,
  • Broad tapeworms;

The latter being more difficult to get rid off by means of vomit.

You can get contaminated by multiple reasons:

You can get rid of parasites by:

  • Vomiting until the game says that you notice the dead parasite in the vomit
  • Drinking antidote liquid
  • Ultimately, if the previous won't help, by drinking Sulphuric acid. This'll kill you though, if you don't have a strong acid resistance
