Diseases of Athas

Tari Fever (Su): —bite, Fortitude DC 10, incubation period 1d3 days; damage 1d3 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based. Unlike normal diseases, tari fever continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or is cured with a remove disease spell.

Sitak fever (Ex): —ingested, Fortitude DC 10, incubation period 1 day, damage 1d3 Str and 1d3 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based. A victim cannot recover from sitak fever naturally for as long as it remains in forested terrain. Leaving the forest allows a victim to cure the disease, and a remove disease spell functions normally.

Wheezing death (Ex): —bite, Fortitude DC 14, incubation period 1d2 days, damage 1d6 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based. The bite of a giant tick spread a disease commonly known as wheezing death. This disease causes large, pus-filled, bubbles to form in the inside and outside of the victim’s airway. This causes a slow, painful suffocation. In the final stages, the victim begins to wheeze, gasp, and fight for air almost constantly.
