Infectious Blight. Creatures bit by the Blighted Gnoll have a chance to be infected with the same disease as the Gnoll. The affected target must succeed a DC 12 Constitution Saving Throw. On a failed save, the creature had disadvantage on ability checks and is considered Vulnerable to all Necrotic damage. The Blight will worsen in 1d4 days if not treated, causing 25 (5d10) damage and immediately causing two points of Exhaustion. Each day the Blight is not treated the creature will take 25 (5d10) damage and a point of Exhaustion. Long Rests do not remove exhaustion and healing will only be 50% effective. The Blight can be healed through Lesser/Greater Restoration, Lay on Hands or a DC25 Medicine Check.

Description
Gnolls are feral, hyena-headed humanoids that attack without warning, slaughtering their victims and devouring their flesh. After being infected by the mysterious Blight that has consumed their tribe, these Gnolls begin to wither and rot while still alive, becoming more ferocious at the cost of their survivability.
