> Broken bones: have a chance of breaking something, whether it's a finger, arm, leg, toe, rib, etc. Some of the possible after affects of them could be that it costs double the movement rate if you've got a broken leg, you only have one wear position for arm (light, shield, held, or weapon). This is already implemented to some degree. Boneshatter for mace specs. > Diseases: They do exist somewhere. I'm sure bacteria and virii are floating around in the air we breath, so why can't we be affected by them? Some could include the cold, flu, chicken pox, etc. This would be an interesting change to plague. Make a few different plagues that could hit you. Everything from a stomach virus that won't let you eat for a while, to the whole pores seeping nasty gunk that we have now. Just a few thoughts. Randy
