I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I appreciate any help. So, I have a character that is a plague doctor healer. They are meant to have a plague related curse that slowly becomes greater over time. Every inch of their skin is covered & I intend them to be hiding the curse under their mask/gloves/cloak/ect. I'm not exactly sure what the curse might be but I'd like it to slowly corrupt my character(they are neutral good), connected to plague, possibly related to necromancy, may have mental affects, & because they are a healer I would like it to poison whoever they heal over time. I would really appreciate any ideas or anything that sounds similar! Feel free to ask further questions
If you want it related to necromancy, this might be a little on the noes but a necrotising plague eating the flesh but underneath the bones remain attached as the body slowly becomes undead?
Leprosy was an uncommon but slightly communicable disease. Someone could live for years and the effect of just having it could drive someone a little around the bend into evil acts.
Considering he is a doctor he could have lost a patient in the past and now a relative of that patient could have become a necromancer and is out to slowly torture the doctor.
You want your healer to poison your allies every time you heal? I mean, it's your table so you know better than I do but that sounds like it wouldn't be fun for the others (unless they have plenty of other healing available).
If you wanted to go more occult, it could be dark black marks/tattoos that are slowly encompassing your body in some kind of horrible approximation of a ritual. Who knows what'll happen if the ritual crawling across you skin were to be completed???

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?

The removal of a curse is to easy now so he just has to find a high enough cleric willing to do the dead and he is fine. The same with any disease.
If he can not cure himself.
Someone following and cursing him every week is something else.
These are incredibly helpful and I will be crafting a terrible amalgamation of all of them! Thank you!
