-Do not kill again... (Unless it's self defense.)
-Play more EFU (Avoid confrontation with radical terrorists and drug dealers.)
-Make far less controversial resolutions for next year. (Someone out there probably thinks I'm kidding.)

... When I see the word terrorist, I think of the neighbor kids who used to come out and paint big red targets on our other neighbors cows...

But I digress.

It's a term that can be used for a host of things, but I agree that there are many other synonyms to relate in it's stead. Thanks for bringing this one up, I'd noticed it but just didn't say anything; I may have even joined the mob in repeating the term, can't remember...

Awesome, I'll look at this entirely different. Thank you for your input.

Hello, I'm playing as my monk character, Elisha Dulsaer, and while fighting ghouls in the Boneyard he contracted a disease. Having ran out of cures, I attempted to rest and hope the roll's would be strong with me, but alas the might of the DC was too strong for me and I received the negative abilities penalty. While normally this wouldn't be a problem, being Ascetic makes it so that no effects can be dispelled via spells Arcane/Divine/Potion/Scroll ect... Additionally, while I eventually did find a tonic to remove the disease, the brownish-yellow effect disappeared but the damaged abilities remain.

I attempted to use Lesser Restore from potions, to no effect, as well as utilizing the herbal tonics for disease and poison; the former received the message stating that the spell dissipated before it touches the character, which the latter two remarked that one cannot apply the items to a character who is not suffering from disease/poison. Additionally, I tried resting several times, with DM assistance even. I've even sought the help of NPC's casting their spells to remove disease/poison.

I imagine dying would solve the problem, but then there's the loss of experience and character immersion that follows... I can't bring myself to be like "Hey bro, can you stop RPing and kill me OOCly". Charging into a dungeon to seal my characters death doesn't fit my appetite either.

The quick fix I would suggest is to create a tonic that could have the effects of restoration, lesser or otherwise. I am already foreseeing a similar issue with more powerful effects, such as level drain being "incurable". Otherwise, I don't have an issue with making this dilemma, or similar issues in the future, a mini plot point with other players or DM's to discover a non-magical cure. After-all, an Ascetic monk must pursue enlightenment in the face of all adversity!

Thank you for your time,
