Ive searched all across japan, looking for my samurai, sumone that is strong, but still a little shy....OMG!!

Sorry....i elapsed into....well...anyway...

SO...i need to know about DISEASES...hehe

Im making a Dire Rat into a Medium sized (then hopefully, large/hudge), and, well, i dunno if the Disease "Filth Fever" gets a larger DC check, or if it stays at 12....

i assume it stays at 12, but i figured maybe with the size, a larger chance of infection would occure, or perhaps a larger animal would have incubated the disease in itself for so long, that it became a hgiher, or diffrent type of strand of Disease.

I found this under Monsters in the Main 3.5 Faq that just updated. Here you go:

"When a monster has a disease special attack, the save DC for that disease is 10 + 1/2 the creature's Hit Dice plus the creature's Constitution modifier."

So if the hit dice or constitution goes up, so does the DC check.

Not 3.0, but good enough.

it worked the same way in 3.0, it was just never stated any place.
