Generic, Text: Purple Lung (Disease)

Koffings and Weezings are nasty monsters for a reason - their toxins are an ever-evolving nuisance to healers all around Zamzara, as their exact composition changes with the monster's diet. Their effects, unfortunately, remain consistent. Given that these same toxins are what allow the beast to move, it is generally recommend to avoid contact with them and exhibit extreme caution if a trainer insists on catching one.

Infection: Fortunately, the toxins of a Koffing are lighter than air and rise quickly once they leave the body, but they are still very potent when doing so. A character becomes infected with Purple Lung if they come within 1 meter of Koffing or Weezing, assuming they need to breathe. Treat this as a status attack (AC: 5, Range: Burst 1). A character can hold their breath while in melee range, but the strain causes a -2 Accuracy to all attacks.

Stage 1: The character comes down with a bad case of the sniffles and a rough cough, plus their eyes water easily in bright areas. The character gets -1 rank in Athletics and Acrobatics and have -1 Accuracy due to runny eyes.

Stage 2: The character's cough grows worse and their eyes grow even more painful and begin to crust due to lack of moisture. The character gets -1 to all Movement capabilities, -1 CS to Speed, -2 ranks in Athletics and Acrobatics, and -2 Accuracy.

Stage 3: The character's lungs become inflamed and even regular breathing becomes difficult as fatigue sets into the body. The character gets all of their Movement capabilities cut in half, -3 CS to Speed, -3 ranks in Athletics and Acrobatics, and -2 Accuracy. All gaseous Poison moves that deal damage (Clear Smog, Poison Gas, Smog, and Venoshock) are one step more Effective. Gaseous Poison status moves (Poison Powder, Toxic) cannot miss.

Stage 4: Gained only through long-term exposure to Koffing fumes, fibrosis takes hold in the character's lungs as they grow the unfortunate purple which named the disease. The character is Poisoned, gets all of their Movement capabilities cut in half, -6 CS to Speed, -6 ranks in Athletics and Acrobatics, and -3 Accuracy. All gaseous Poison moves that deal damage (Clear Smog, Poison Gas, Smog, and Venoshock) are two steps more Effective. Gaseous Poison status moves (Poison Powder, Toxic) cannot miss.

Save DC Range: N/A

Cure: The best cure is prevention - just stay away from them. In the past there used to be no cure for Purple Lung, but advances in modern medicine and the study of healing waves have allowed for treatments that pass right through a subject's body to destroy the toxins collecting on their lungs - but the process can take days or even weeks, and it is painful both physically and financially.

Extra: Perhaps the only upside to the disease is that it does not worsen on its own - one can only advance to the next rank by breathing in more and more fumes.
