Diseased - diseases system overhaul

DISEASED - A complete lore-friendly and rewarding disease system to Skyrim -

Overview: This mod introduces a disease system to Skyrim. Before this, diseases were merely debuffs that you instantly acquired and instantly got rid of. Now diseases progresses slowly and grow stronger or weaker, depending on several factors.

You can learn how to cook home-made medicines (after reading a book on how to do it), craft potions to cure a specific disease (or a poison to cause their effects), get sick eventually when exploring infected places, try a cure by resting or die by leaving a fatal disease unattended...

Diseases effects were carefully loyal to the original ones, but added some side-effects that make it more interesting. For instance, if you are infected with a certain disease that causes your hands to shake, you might have a spasm when overdoing physical activities. Also the regular effects have been reduced drastically on early stages and increased drastically on advanced stages.

1. Progression: Each disease has 6 stages, being the first one pretty really mild and the last one really powerful. Each disease has a specific time to an “evolution check”. In this evolution check, it is possible that the disease evolves or recedes.

2. Evolution Check: First test is to check if the disease evolves. If not, a second check is made to know if the disease will recede. Even without Disease Resistance, players always have a chance to resist the disease. The probability of progression or recovery of a disease depends on some factors: a) The player's Disease Resistance: If you really want some disease immunity or resistance, you need this. The greater this value, the greater the chances the disease will not evolve, or even recede. A 100% Disease Resistance yields a 100% chance to resist and go back one stage of the disease. Anything described below yields a much lower chance to resist the disease. b) The player Health: the greater the health, the greater the chance to pass both checks. c) Is the player resting properly? No resting state yields a penalty to the check, while well rested and marriage rested yields a bonus. The location the player is also affects a lot this check. Dirty places like dungeons, cemeteries, caves yields a high penalty, while staying on clean and comfortable places like home, temples, inns or even in cities yields a huge bonus. The cleaner the place, the better! d) Is the player under effect of medicine, potions or blessings? This leads to the next feature. e) Disease stage[/color
