Plague Vial - What diseases can you use?


Rules Questions


The alchemist archetyple Plague Bringer has the ability Plague Vial. The relevant portion reads:
As a standard action, the plague bringer can infect a weapon with this sickness (typically by licking it or wiping his blood or pus on it). The disease on the weapon works like a poisoned weapon, except the source is a disease instead of a poison.

What diseases are available?
Does it mimic the Contagion spell, having an immediate onset? Or use the original disease onsets? (Those are mostly measured in days.)

It isn't a real disease. It causes sickness when they attack you.


Doh! I missed the word "this" in "this disease". So, all it really does is give the sickened condition.

Thanks for pointing it out!
