Two of my PCs are college students (and all of my players are), so I was struck by ideas on how to complicate their lives in that traditional manner of dorm-rot, the malaise that seems to effortlessly circulate through the dorms in the winter.
The best way to do this, I feel, is to have the at-risk PCs make an Endurance roll at the beginning of the scenario; those that fail the roll are afflicted with a sticky (and slimy) aspect that's worded along the lines of "The Flu", "Dorm Rot", "I'm Normally As Healthy As An Ox... Someone Please Shoot Me."
Then, over the course of the scenario, compel that aspect at inconvenient times: a Stealth roll is botched because of a sneeze, a Discipline roll is gone because the character can't focus through the haze of DayQuil, etc.
Can also work for allergies.
Thoughts? Has anyone afflicted their PCs with the flu yet and have stories?
