The rules speak of a "contagion Index" listed under healing. With numbers of 1 to 7 for transmittability and a healing index.

I cannot find this index at all, anywhere I look. Is it somewhere or do you just random roll for how bad the index is?

Thanks,.

Have you looked in the index??

From what I remeber it is how contagious a disease is (obvioiusly!).....but have forgotten what this means.... I seem to remember certain diseases being assigned it but again cannot remember where..Help us wise forum members....

The use of the term "index" here is in the sense of the mathematical concept ("A number or other symbol that indicates the location of a variable in an indexed family or set") rather than the publishing usage ("A detailed list, usually arranged alphabetically, of the specific information in a publication").

In this case, it simply means that each disease has a number assigned that indicates how relatively contagious it is (higher numbers are less contagious). It does not refer to a list of diseases and their respective contagion levels.

I believe it is largely left to the GM to set contagion indices for diseases in their game. There is no list that I am aware of, but a few examples are found in canon publications:

• Leprosy = 7 (HM3, Character 9)
• Red Death = 2 (Dead Weight 3)

There are probably others, but these were the first ones I found.

From an old Download:
CI= Contation Index (DR vs. ENDxCI [max 95])
CI
Anoth Plague 3 Airborn & Direct Contact
Breakbone Fever 1 Pests
Bubonic Plague 3 Pests
Cholera 2 Food & Water
Dysentery 1 Food & Water
Food Poisoning 3 Food
Pnuemonia 2 Airborn & Direct Contact
Pnuemonic Plague 2 Airborn & Direct Contact
Red Death 2 Pests
Tular Fever 2 Pests
Typhoid 3 Direct Contact, Food & Water

Great, thanks guys.. No wonder I couldn't find the list. Apparently it's in my head.

Thanks all.
