Mystical Plague: Difference between revisions

** The Judges Guild adventure "Verbosh" had a new spell called "Plague" which causes 20-70% of the population in a 1 mile square area to be incapacitated for 1-4 weeks as well as killing many of them.

** The 2E supplement ''Tome of Magic''. The 7th level priest spell Breath of Death (reversed Breath of Life) affects an entire community. Anyone who fails a saving throw vs. death magic is infected with a disease that is fatal in 1-6 weeks.

** ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'': see Nurgle above, except now the mages can also be seven feet tall and wearing [[Power Armor]].

* ''[[Exalted]]'' features, among many others, the Great Contagion. Dug out of a [[Eldritch Location|dimensional nexus that instills insanity in all those who view it without proper protection]] by one of the Deathlords, it killed about 90% of Creation on the first go. The only thing that stopped it from finishing the job was one of the other Deathlords inviting [[The Fair Folk]] in to finish the job; the chaotic energies of the Wyld that came with the invasion actually ''bolstered'' the immunities of the survivors.
