Character : Diseases. Online RPG, Fantasy Game, Free MMORPG DarkSwords

Infections that radically change character physiology are traditionally called «diseases». In the frames of our world it is supposed to mean the affiliation to one of the ethnic groups, such as vampires – porphyria or werewolves – lycanthropy. The main aspect of the diseases is the inability to use the cure or healing magic, which is compensated by other forms of life recovery. It is already almost impossible to develop the actual character without getting him infected by some of these diseases. It is possible to fasten the process of disease development from 1st stage of initial infection to 3rd effective stage with the «Cursed Water» potion that is being sold at Artifact Alchemy.
