The Plague Doctor



Plague Doctor
A Plague Doctor may be a traveling doctor, a snake oil salesman, or an honest man of science, but the sight of him is a dreadful thing, for that means plague is near. God forbid you ever need one.

  1. That Physik skill is sweet, any thought about a punishment if you fail the check?
    Failed check:"Oops your septic now, my bad."

  2. Sure. I got this from Stormbringer, a d100% system, so if you critical fail I think it was 1d3 damage. So in Lotfp maybe you contract a nasty infection, or gangrene.

  3. Are there critical skill failures in LotFP? Rolling a 6?
