Frostjoint

Frostjoint is a frozen curse of Vapul. It is Tel-quessir in origin, and only affects humans. It involves paralysis from the waist down, and a constant shivering cold. The only known treatment is that of Doctor Li's which involves a watered down version of Sundrop to keep the body warm.
Those affected by Frostjoint suffer from the following conditions:

• Their movement speed is reduced to 0.
• They automatically fail Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
• Any attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.
• They regain only half the normal number of hit points from spending Hit Dice and no hit points from a long rest. They also have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls.

Treatment

As of 8009, a vaccine exists that uses traits of the Dragonborn Virus to counter the negative effects of Frostjoint.
