This is a repost from qhcf.net.

Plague and crimson scourge are already pretty debilitating. I hope I didn't butcher that word. Would it make sense, from both a gameplay and funstick perspective, to not make those two spells/communes drop down into the negatives? All that does is waste the affected's time even more as they try to sleep it off.

What I would propose is that once mvs or mana reach 0, they continue to remain at 0 until the effects wear off. Or, at most, make the cap -100 or some such.

Yes, it is annoying when a shaman or necromancer hits me with a malediction like that. Much more annoying, though, is when an npc does it while I'm out exploring and I don't have a cure for it. I see this as a boost to gameplay and especially fun.

As well, those nice little refresh preps would be more tactical to carry around, in my opinion.

Thoughts? Is this just a rehash?
