Editing Ailments

Ailments are negative in-game character attributes that may include an illness, sickness, disorder or affliction. Ailments also affect a character's ability to act during events or encounters.

== Mental Ailments ==
Mental ailments only affect humanoid companions. They affect both the loyalty and performance of the afflicted party member.

== Physical Ailments ==
Most physical ailments can affect both explorers and humanoid companions. Temporary ailments' icons appear fuscia and typically subside after 20-30 days (if the afflicted character doesn't succumb to their illness). The only ailments that animals can develop are injuries, infected wounds, and rabies.
