Bacteria

Vast OnumPlaguemonger

Root Effect • Passive • Infection


Bacteria calls you home. The kind nobody wants. The kind which those who don’t have super mega magnifico immune systems die from, have their flesh eaten slowly but surely. All of your Bacteria has become immune to antibiotics. Luckily being a Plaguemonger is to have a touch of the doctor’s magic. Those tiny little guys nobody else can see, but you whisper to once in a while are definitely listening.


Passive Infection

This is actually a fun way to boost your damage with Puncturing Force Trauma and Sharp Force Trauma damage.

You deal additional damage to damaging hits with attacks that break the skin equal to your Gross and Unusual Smell bonus.

Also, all Puncturing Force and Sharp Force Injury Cards you apply also apply Bacterial Infection.

Bacterial Infection

Injury Card Status Effect: Condition
