Diseased Pustules (Ex) When a festrog takes damage from
a piercing or slashing weapon, some of its boils rupture,
squirting the attacker with puslike fluids. The noxious
secretions carry a potent contact disease that causes those
infected to break out into painful necrotic boils.
Necrotic Boils: Disease—contact; save Fort DC 11; onset 1
day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d4 Con; cure 1 save.
I am assuming this to apply only to damage taken in melee, as funny as it would be to describe to my archer player that shooting the thing causes a super-soaker jet of pus and ooze to streak towards him at incomprehensible speed from over 60 feet away...
This hasn't come up yet, but I suspect it will. What is the actual range on this? I'm thinking adjacent creatures in melee are the only ones in danger here.

Yeah, as written it will certainly flash through the air and hit an archer.
However, I like the idea of it affecting a square adjacent to the monster in the direction of the attacker. This would mean the splatter from the arrow could hit a melee player who is standing in the way.
