New Diseases
Boreworms
Boreworms are actually a parasitic infection rather than a disease, but their effects are just as debilitating as
any sickness. These microscopic parasites infest the roots and limbs of certain types of plants found in the jungles,
and they infest a living host when exposed skin brushes against them. Someone exposed to boreworms must make a
Fortitude save (DC 15) or become infested with the parasites. Unless the victim is cured via magical means (such as
a remove disease), he can be later infested if he continues to wear the same clothing and equipment he wore when he
first came in contact with the infestation. Soaking infested equipment in alcohol or oil kills the boreworms. Once the
infestation sets in, the boreworms begin burrowing through the victim's bones, leaving them brittle and fragile.
Boreworms have an incubation period of 1d4 days and deal 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage per day.
As long as the boreworms remain in the victim's body, this ability damage is permanent.

Hatefrenzy
Tiny biting flies that have fed upon the dead bodies of fiendish monsters spread this terrible disease. A
character exposed to hatefrenzy must make a Fortitude save (DC 18) to avoid infection. This is a magical disease,
and successful saves do not allow the character to recover. Only magical healing can save the character. Hatefrenzy
has an incubation period of 1 day. When the disease sets in, it begins to eat away at portions of the victim's brain that
govern personality and emotion, causing 1d6 points of temporary Charisma damage per day. A victim of hatefrenzy
becomes more and more antagonistic and insane with anger, and she eventually collapses into a nightmare-filled
coma. Worse, as long as someone is suffering Charisma damage from hatefrenzy, she loses the ability to discern
friend from foe in combat. Those affected by this disease attack the closest target in combat and continue fighting
until incapacitated or until no further targets are in sight.
