D&D disease

[marycatelli]

A Gamelit world with Cure Disease spells --

Would it work on scurvy, or would you have to resort to a Create Food spell and feed the victim up?

How about a congenital disease? A chronic condition?

I think that those would require heavier duty Cure Disease spells, except the scurvy, which would indeed require Create Food -- or just plain food.  May even require Create -- err -- Required Food, which is a heavier duty version.

Decisions, decisions. And all because I decided to give one character a congenital disease that led to people making a mistake about him, and his current life. It probably even did him good.

And how knowledgeable is the spellcaster?

Is it "create food"?
Create *these* foods
(citrus fruits - but need not be.. just the most obvious)

Create ascorbates?

Modifying DNA to allow in-vivo ascorbate creation?
(Well into Wizard territory here... this ain't 'script-kiddie magic'.)

But -- Create Food is a CLERIC spell.

See how much attention I pay to gaming? That would be, roughly, none at all. Gets in the way of fun.
