Trait # CT8-758: CONTAGION

CONTAGION: You have an anomalous infection. If you gained this trait on character creation or as an advance, you’re a carrier and must randomly roll another trait as well. That trait is the infection’s symptom, and you’re encouraged to come up with a name for the condition after determining it. When you make skin-to-skin contact using your contagious touch, roll 1D6 and apply the corresponding effect: 1: Give the target CONTAGION and its symptom (but not the symptom’s associated item or stat bonus). 2-4: The target is briefly stunned by a physiological response such as intense coughing or sneezing. 5-6: Halve the target’s health, rounding up. Cures for CONTAGION may become available in the world at the ref’s discretion, but a character can only be cured of this trait or exhibit its symptom if they’re not a carrier.
