| #1VikingWithAHatJul 29, 2015 23:03:59 | So I started a campaign this week, and my bard got bit by a death dog, failed his Con saving throw and caught the disease.
I was wondering if the subsequent Con saving throws will give me an opportunity to cure the disease or if I absolutely need a lesser restoration spell or some such. the death dog's entry doesn't mention it, but the otyugh's bite attack has a similar effect(mostly numbers that change) mentions that succeeding the subsequent Con saving throw will cure the disease.
Is this a mistake in the death dog's entry?
Death dog's bite attack :
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 5 (1 d6 + 2) piercing damage. lfthe target is a creature, it
must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw against
disease or become poisoned until the disease is cured. Every 24
hours that elapse, the creature must repeat the saving throw,
reducing its hit point maximum by 5 (ldlO) on a failure. This
reduction lasts until the disease is cured. The creature dies if
the disease reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Otyugh's bite attack:
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:
12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must
succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw against disease
or become poisoned until the disease is cured. Every 24 hours
that elapse, the target must repeat the saving throw, reducing
its hit point maximum by 5 (1d10) on a failure. The disease is
cured on a success. The target dies if the disease reduces its
hit point maximum to 0. This reduction to the target's hit point
maximum lasts until the disease is cured.
