So I posted this in suggestion and got mostly positive feedback so I've been working on this. It's still rough and I"ll refine it as I go and likely rearrange the tiers on certain diseases as I actually look into them a bit more. But for now this is the rough list. You can play the serious of each disease you receive to suit yourself as something like the common cold can range from a sniffle to being almost as bad as the flu depending on the person and strain you get. How bad a case of a disease you have is totally in player control, however....people don't get light cases of cancer so please be reasonable.
Here's how it will go.
Tier 1 Diseases- These diseases are classified mostly by the likelihood of your character dying from them being so low as to not really be a problem. Less than 1% mortality rates. Generally don't debilitate your character too much, though if your character gets into a fight they will not be 100%.
Tier 2 Diseases- These diseases are more serious and your character will likely need medical attention of some kind to help/speed the recovery. Mortality rate is still quite low at less than 10%. That said if your character gets the flu and are young and healthy they can recover on their own still. Also these diseases tend to seriously affect the ability of your character to go about their daily routines.
Tier 3 Diseases- These diseases are serious and have a very real chance of killing your character(Again how the disease progresses is all up to you the player so long as it makes sense). Mortality rate of 30% or lower. These diseases are characterized mostly by the necessity of your character to find some form of medical help or have someone bring it too them and severe character limitations while effected with these diseases.
Tier 4 Diseases- Warning these diseases are more than likely going to kill you without direct divine intervention on your characters behalf. People didn't survive Cancer, Plagues or Leprosy very often. Don't pick this option unless you are perfectly fine with your character dying. Survival rate at 5% or so.
Sot this is how the application will work, post here in this format:
Player name and Character Name:
Pick a Disease Tier (You may pick multiples):
Any other notes about the selection process you want to add:
Do you want the response PM-ed to you or posted on the thread for Meta reasons:
With this information I will then of the selected Tiers roll a Die in Hollowworld and then based on the number go down the list and select the disease you get. And boom your character is now sick. However if you want to just use this page as a resource feel free, or if you want something more tailored for you character I'd feel free to work with you to help you select a disease that fits your character better.
