I know, I just joked on their cuteness. Anyone seen the Battlelords ad? "Buy Battlelords or we kill this baby seal!"
Would be so nice, if a broo with decent Bambi-head would pretend to be an animal in distress, and the Stormbuller was still having Detect Chaosheadaches masked by his terrible hangover... And the Chalana Arroy's healer would close in to help poor sod.. to get axe into the brains!-)

Nope. Any Malian activity in nearest 200 kilometers will get one of those tiny tiny disease spirits on any wound given. It then is just a matter of... dice rolls? Lets assume, that all untended wounds do infect, amputation becomes necessary in a week or so. And if you used that last drop of precious whiskey and some _clean_ clothing on it, you might get to roll your CON + medical prowess versus some randomized bacteria amount on opponents blade. Much much more than just to make another roll against Wasting Disease. And if it was a broo-weapon, or you put your filthy rag against the wound, you are a goner, unless you get a professional healer in a matter of days.

Nah. Malia would be unemployed if everyone just got caught in a fireball and left just smoking ashes behind...
