Diseases of the Mind

Publisher's blurb: Deep in each civilization’s roots, there are myths, remedies, and folklore, all revolving around the ailments that affect its people. When each Dungeon Master wants to expand on the details of the societies that unfold before their very eyes, tools that spice up the process become a vital weapon. This supplement will hopefully become one of them, as DMs become inspired by the grim, epic or mundane conditions of the human body and mind. This second installment of the Malady Codex focuses on diseases that affect thought, behaviour and emotions. These are dangerous aflictions of the mind and soul. As storytelling tools, their beauty lies in this very danger, becoming memorable obstacles that the heroes must overcome! Do not underestimate diseases. Part of the Dungeon Master’s art is to be able to stir feelings up in their players, and few human conditions could accomplish that better. Used as a way to advance a storyline, to expand a character arc or to create conflict, the following stories can serve you well!
