Affliction

Related Stat: Intellect
Related Powers: Corrosion, Poison

Your character can inflict horrible diseases. These diseases may start immediately or have a prolonged onset time, at your choice. Once the disease sets in, it attacks the victim with its intensity in damage points every exchange. If the victim falls to 0 Health, he or she drops into a coma. Someone with the Medicine skill can keep the victim from suffering damage or dying.

Your character can cure the diseases he or she causes, just by touching the victim.

Limit--Toxic: Your character gives off disease at all times and cannot cure them. This can either cause damage equal to the Power's intensity to all within striking distance, or cause disease as above. If your character is in a containment suit, this limit is controlled.
Stunt--Aging: Your character can accelerate the aging process. This disease can advance the victim forward a number of years equal to the Power's intensity, or multiply the subject's aging rate by the intensity (i.e., the subject ages the intensity in years per actual year). The character cannot kill the subject with this Power, but can make the subject old and feeble.
Stunt--Aging Reversal: Your character can decelerate a target's aging process. This disease can subteact a number of years equal to the Power's intensity, or divide the subject's aging rate by the intensity (i.e., the subject ages one year only after the passage of a number of years equal to the intensity). The hero cannot kill the subject with this power, but can drop him or her back to the moment of birth.
Stunt--Alien Implant: Your character can implant an alien egg. The character automatically implants an egg whenever he or she causes damage with a disease. About 5 minutes later the egg hatches, inflicting its intensity in damage or takes over the victim's mind. Anyone with Regeneration can fight off these implants, as long as their intensity is at least equal to your Affliction intensity.
Stunt--Disease Remission: Your character can arrest any disease by touch alone.
Stunt--Mind Rot: Your character can choose to infect a victim with a mind-rotting disease. Instead of causing damage upon onset, it reduces the victim's Intellect and Willpower by the intensity.
