Curing the Malady

Line 94:		Line 94:

	Since the victims of the Malady are not truly undead, curing the disease removes any templates it placed on the victim. Cured victims are considered alive and normal (presuming they were when infected) and regain a Constitution score with a current value of 1. This is considered ability damage that will heal over time to its normal level. The victim may also still have injuries or be under other effects from when they are infected, which remain and must be healed or removed by other means. Most victims will remember most of their actions while infected. Some may also have stomach contents which are no longer safe for human consumption.
