--Grrr. Oh well. Rot is just one of those poopy things that we must
live with. I can gewt annoyed with it, but in truth, it's a perfect
thing for shaman's to have. Actually, I'd like to see more effects
from it, considering it last for about 20 hours. It could drain
strength sometimes, cause sudden ravenous hunger/thirst, blindness,
etc. Oh yeah, and it should also -12 on charisma immediately. I
wouldn't want a damned leperous bard singing love ballads at my
dinner table.


Anyhoo, thanks for the reply, and much respect to you as well. Don't
go deleting like the majority of hero goodies will now. Hang in there
and everything is better in the long-run.

Bizarro I'm helping!
