Fibrous mechanites
Fibrous Mechanites is a mechanite disease which brings mild pain in early stages but boosts several attributes. This disease does not kill the patient.
Nota bene: Treatment does not cure the disease, it only prevents the pain from worsening. Instead it must be waited out.
Fibrous mechanites incapacitate pawns with the Wimp trait from the onset of the disease. While the the buffs are slightly less because of the Consciousness reduction from the pain, the base +50% manipulation and moving speed buffs mean this disease can actually be advantageous if the pain and rest fall rate can be managed. Note that the disease should still be treated even if it is to be exploited, as the benefits do not increase without treatment, only the pain, and treatment does not hasten the end of the disease.
General Symptoms:
- Tiredness (x170%)
- Mild pain (+20%)
- Improved manipulation (+50%)
- Improved movement speed (+50%)
