Note:

Due to the infectious nature of the Plague, an entire populace could very well succumb to its effects unless some provision is made for curing players on a mass scale. Thus, it is suggested Plaguers only be used in games or Quests where such is made possible, unless slowly killing the entire populace is your goal. (Which is fine, just let everyone know.)
