Rash

Your body has an itchy rash that covers (IE × 20 percent) of it. This can include discoloration, hives, blisters, lesions, pustules, scaling, peeling, and/or sores. Because of the itchy distraction, you must succeed on a DC 5 + (IE) Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration each round on an applicable spell. You must also succeed on a DC 5 + (IE) Constitution saving throw every day or develop Infection.

Real-world Examples

Rosacea, Impetigo, Ringworm, Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Lupus, Cellulitis, Hand, Foot, And Mouth Disease

Assistive Options

A successful DC 8 + (IE) Wisdom (Medicine) check with proper application of oil and herbs will reduce the IE by 1 for 2d4 hours.




Fissures

Your skin is fragile and often dry, leading to ongoing splits even without taking damage. You must succeed on a DC 5 + (IE) Constitution saving throw every day or develop Infection.

Real-world Examples

Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Eczema, Diabetes, Angiopathy

Assistive Options

Washing the affected areas and applying oil three times per day will reduce the IE by 1 the next day.

Magical Assistance

Healing magic can be applied directly to splits to prevent infections instead of healing hit points.




Face Rash

Your face has a rash that covers (IE × 15 percent) of it. This can include discoloration, hives, blisters, lesions, pustules, scaling, peeling, and/or sores. Consequently, when people who don’t know you see you, they usually only see your face. This gives you +(IE) to Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks but −(IE) (up to −4) to disguise checks or Dexterity (Stealth) checks to blend into a crowd as well as a −(IE) penalty on Charisma (Persuasion) checks due to many people’s discomfort around those with unexpected appearances.
Real-world Examples
Rosacea, Psoriasis, Lupus, Eczema
Assistive Options
A combination of makeup and salves can help reduce inflammation but need to be applied often. A jar of salve costs 1 sp for seven days’ worth and must be applied every 2 hours to receive the benefits. One hour after application, the IE reduces by 1 for 2 hours, continuing as long as applications continue. The benefits wear off after 2.5 hours if not reapplied.
