Faith Cough

“The Light of Noxia shall protect those who truly have faith.”

The faith cough is a virulent flu. Although not lethal, it is known to strike on a regular basis, constantly resurfacing when it was thought to be eradicated. Many rumours say that it doesn’t strike equally among the mortals of Toriel, sparing the worshiper of Noxia and going after their enemies.
Indeed, the fervant worshipper of the dragon god of poison are miraculously immune to this plague, the Faith cough taking a heavy toll among the poor population all over Toriel. If a humanoid comes within 5 feet of an infected creature they must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, becoming infected with Faith Cough on a failed save. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, they become immune to Faith Cough for 24 hours.
Creatures infected with Faith Cough have disadvantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks and all constitution checks. Faith Cough can be removed by any method that cures diseases. The disease ends on its own after 2d6 days.
