Starfinder: Blood Plague

blood-plague-template.jpg

I have literally played around 1500 hours of State of Decay 2. It is without a doubt my favorite game, and I find it a great way to relax, especially when I'm stressed. I converted the undead long ago, but figured it was about time I wrote up the Blood Plague. So here it is, ready to be used in your Starfinder game!

This implant plugs directly into your heart and can be triggered to overclock the performance of your heart and circulatory system. When you run, charge, or take a move action to move, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to increase your speed (in the relevant mode of movement) for that action. This extra movement is treated as an enhancement bonus.

Alternatively, you can spend 1 Resolve Point as a reaction when you attempt a Reflex saving throw to gain a enhancement bonus to your roll.

When installed in a dinosaur, activating the heart is a free action, and lasts for 1 minute, no matter the model. After using the accelerator, the creature must rest for 10 minutes before using the item again. It can also activate the item as a free action to gain the listed bonus to any reflex saving throw.

Special Abilities

Acid blood (Ex) The blood of the Xenomorph is highly acidic. Whenever it bleeds, the blood will burn through almost any substance and will cause 26d4+26 points of damage. The blood will continue to burn for 1d6 rounds, causing damage each round. Attacking the Xenomorph with natural weapons is a very poor idea as the target automatically suffers the acid blood damage if they are using slashing or piercing attacks. When the creature dies, it will burst, washing an area equal to 40 ft. in acid. A Ref save (DC 30) will save anyone caught in the area of effect from the splash. The acid causes 26d4+26 damage per round for 1d6 rounds.

Acid Breath (Ex) As a full round action, the Xenomorph can unleash a powerful jet of acid. This is a cone effect weapon, and has a 60 ft. range (use the 60 ft. Orthogonal template from Pathfinder, easily found online). This will inflict 26d10+26 points of acid damage (Reflex save DC 30 for half). The creature can use this ability up to three times every 24 hour period and can be used once every second round.

Acid Splash (Ex) Whenever the Xenomorph is hit by any type of attack which deals more than 10 points of damage in a single strike; the blood will have a chance to affect anyone near. The acid splash has a radius of 10 ft. and those caught in the area of effect are allowed a Ref save (DC 30) to avoid taking damage. If the save fails, the victim will suffer 26d4+26 points of damage per round, for 1d6 rounds.

Grab (Ex) The creature must make a claw attack, it will do normal damage. If the attack roll successfully hits the target’s KAC +4, the creature automatically grapples the foe as a free action. (If it hits the targets KAC +9, it instead pins the target). Instead of dragging the victim back to the hive, the creature will instead attempt to kill the target on the spot.

Inner Jaw (Ex) Possessing an additional ‘jaw’ the creature can opt to use this attack. It typically will use this on a grappled target, or it can opt to use this in addition to the bite. The bite does slightly less damage (22d6+43 S) but is more accurate. The creature has a +42 with this particular attack, and if the target is grappled, then the bonus is +45.

Natural Weapons (Ex) Cannot be disarmed.

Rend (Ex) The strength of the Xenomorph is so powerful that if it manages to latch onto a target with both main claws (through the grab ability), the target must immediately make a Fort Save (DC 28) or be ripped in two, killing it instantly. Even if the saving throw succeeds, the target still suffers 26d8+43 damage from the attack, and the target is no longer grappled.

Swallow Whole (Ex) If a creature with this special attack begins its turn with an opponent grappled in its mouth (see Grab), it can attempt a new combat maneuver check (as though attempting to pin the opponent). If it succeeds, it swallows its prey, and the opponent takes bite damage. Unless otherwise noted, the opponent can be up to one size category Smaller than the swallowing creature. Being swallowed causes a creature to take damage each round. The swallowed creature will take 26d6+26 points of acid damage per round. A swallowed creature keeps the grappled condition, while the creature that did the swallowing does not. A swallowed creature can try to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon the amount of cutting damage required to get free is 80 points.  Or it can just try to escape the grapple using Acrobatics (Escape DC 46). If a swallowed creature cuts its way out, the swallowing creature cannot use swallow whole again until the damage is healed. If the swallowed creature escapes the grapple, success puts it back in the attacker’s mouth, where it may be bitten or swallowed again.

Trample (Ex) As a Full-Round Action, a Creature with the trample ability can attempt to charge any Creature(s) that is at least one size category smaller than itself.  The creature is able to target anything in a perfectly straight line, no matter how many targets are in that line.  All Targets of a trample takes 18d12+43 damage. Targets of a trample can make an attack of opportunity, but at a –4 Penalty. If targets forgo an attack of opportunity, they can attempt to avoid the trampling Creature and receive a Reflex save (DC 30) to take half Damage. A trampling Creature can only deal trampling Damage to each target once per round, per target in the direct line of attack; no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target Creature.

Vulnerability to fire (Ex) The creature has few vulnerabilities, and fire is one. Whenever it encounters fire, the creature will take an additional 50% damage (rounded to nearest) and suffer a -4 to any saving throws involving fire.

Wing Buffet (Ex) As a standard action, instead of attacking, the creature can use its massive wings to produce a powerful wave of air. This is similar to the Acid breath, as it has a 60 ft. radius, and uses the same orthogonal template. Anyone caught in the windstorm created by this will suffer 13d6 B damage and must make a reflex save (DC 30) or be knocked prone. If it does this, it cannot take any other actions except a move action.

Ecology

Environment: Any

Organization: Solitary

 

Special Abilities

Death hibernation (Ex):Upon its death, the Nemesis does not actually die. Instead if there is no potential food around, it can go into a hibernation state. For all intent and purposes, the creature is dead, but once any source of food comes within 30 ft. it will come to ‘life’ and the tentacles will burst free and attempt to grapple the food source to the body for consumption. It can remain in this state for 4d4 days before the creature is truly dead.

Death Tentacles (Ex): Upon its defeat, if there are any sources of food within 30 feet, a series of 1d4+2 tentacles will burst from the corpse and attempt to grapple any targets in the radius. If the grapple succeeds, the tentacle will drag the victim back to the body, where it will then use the other tentacles to rip chunks of flesh from the hapless victim, causing 2d8+23 points of damage per round, activating the eat to heal ability.

Eat to Heal (Ex): Once the Nemesis has taken physical damage, it will stop trying to shoot or batter a target to death. It will bite the victim, and for every 3 points of damage it inflicts, Nemesis will heal 1 hit point of damage.

Regeneration (Ex): Although undead, the Nemesis can regenerate damage it sustains without having to consume meat. Every round the creature will automatically heal 10 hit points of damage, up to a maximum of 110 points. Once this threshold has been achieved, the creature cannot automatically heal and must eat to heal damage. It can also ‘restock’ this regenerative ability from consuming meat, as described in Eat to Heal.

Special Abilities

Debilitating Trumpet (Su): As a full round action, the creature can lift its maw and let out a hideous bellow. This has a 40 ft. radius and anything caught in the area of effect must make a Reflex save (DC 18) or suffer 3d8+11 sonic damage and are deafened for 1d4 rounds. A successful save indicates half damage and the target is not deafened. A critical failure indicates that the deafened condition is permanent.

Tentacle Impale (Ex): If two or more tentacles succeed in striking the target, they can make a grapple check and if it succeeds, they automatically impale the hapless victim on their tusks. This causes 2d10+21 Piercing damage and the target must make a Fort save DC 18 or also suffer 2d6 bleed per round.

Thick hide (Ex): The hide of these creatures is highly resistant to physical attacks. They have DR 10 against all physical attacks.

Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, the creature can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The Eldritch Elephant merely has to move over the opponents in its path. The creature does not need to make an attack roll; each creature whose space it moves through takes damage. A target of a trample can make a REF save (DC 18) for half damage. If it attempts the save, it can’t make an attack of opportunity against the trampling Eldritch Elephant due to the creature’s movement. The Eldritch Elephant can deal trample damage to a given target only once per round.

Here you will find all the conversions I have done for the Halo series.

Mark I Spartan Exoskeleton

Price: 12,010 Level 5

EAC Bonus: +7 KAC Bonus: +9

Max Dex Bonus: +0 AC Penalty -4 Speed: 30 ft.

Strength: 22 (+6) Damage: 1d8 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 1

Capacity: 40 Usage: 10 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 30

 

The Spartan Powered armour program began in 2512. It was the Navy’s first experiment with this type of heavy armour. Bulky and difficult to master, the suit did have several advantages over regular or heavy armour. It was designed to lift up to 4,000 pounds, and despite the bulk, did not hinder the users speed. Unfortunately it could not be completely sealed and was not suitable for toxic, vacuum, or underwater usage.

 

The early versions of the armour came equipped with Infrared sensors, an early generation motion detection package (pg 220 of the core book), and mounted a Squad machine gun as its primary weapon. The suit was also equipped with a Mk 2 personal computer system, which could assist the wearer with tactical information, and could even be linked to the Squad machine gun, firing it without direct command of the user (using the wearer’s Ranged attack at a -4). Enough space was left over for the wearer to add one additional piece of equipment.

 

Mark II Spartan Exoskeleton

Price 17,510 Level  7

EAC Bonus: +10 KAC Bonus: +12

Max Dex Bonus: +0 AC Penalty -4 Speed: 30 ft.

Strength: 22 (+6) Damage: 1d8 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 1

Capacity: 40 Usage: 5 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 27

 

With continued research and the improvement of the technology involved, the Mark II armour was somewhat sleeker and less bulky to use. It still had issues with power drainage though. Of the major improvements to the armour, was the addition of a refractive coating, which proved to be useful in dispersing heat from laser and explosive attacks, giving the suit a DR 7 / Fire and Explosive. It still came equipped with the standard Infrared sensors, motion detection package (pg 220 of the core book), Squad machine gun and a Tier 2 computer.

 

Mark III Spartan Exoskeleton

Price 35,050 Level  9

EAC Bonus: +14 KAC Bonus: +18

Max Dex Bonus: +2 AC Penalty -3 Speed: 30 ft.

Strength: 22 (+6) Damage: 1d10 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 1

Capacity: 40 Usage: 2 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 25

 

Mark III armour saw the advantage of greatly improved power consumption, and better alloys and composites, reducing the bulkiness of the armour again, and allowing for better control. It still possessed the standard equipment, but saw the addition of an X-Gen gun, a significant upgrade to the standard Squad machine gun. Likewise the refractive coating was improved, giving the wearer a DR 9 / Fire and Explosive. The computer was also upgraded to a Tier 3 system, which could still control and fire the X-gen gun, but with a -3 penalty.

 

Mark IV Mjolnir Powered Assault Armour

Price 58,400 Level  11

EAC Bonus: +16 KAC Bonus: +20

Max Dex Bonus: +3 AC Penalty -2 Speed: 30 ft.

Strength: 24 (+7) Damage: 2d6 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 1

Capacity: 40 Usage: 1 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 25

 

After continued research, the armour’s power issue was finally resolved to the satisfaction of those involved with the project. The standard equipment package was included with the suit, although along with this version came even more effect refractive coating (DR 11 / Fire and Explosives), and the X-gen machine gun was replaced with a more powerful Medium machine gun. This suit was also the first to be fully enclosed, allowing it to be used in Toxic, vacuum and under water. On top of these improvements, a Targeting computer and radiation buffer were now included.

 

Mark V Mjolnir Powered Assault Armour

Price 250,450 Level  14

EAC Bonus: +18 KAC Bonus: +22

Max Dex Bonus: +3 AC Penalty -2 Speed: 30 ft.

Strength: 24 (+7) Damage: 2d10 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 3

Capacity: 80 Usage: 1 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 27

 

The Mark V was the first suit to be integrated with a personal force field (green force field), thanks to the vastly improved power source the suit could use. This suit still made use of the basic equipment, such as the Infrared sensors, Motion detection, environmentally sealed, targeting computer and radiation buffer.. It also saw yet another improvement in the refractive coating, increasing the DR to 14 / Fire and explosives. The weapon was also replaced with a advanced reactive cannon. Even though communications were improved the system still relied on a Tier 3 computer to aid and assist the wearer.

 

Mark VI Mjolnir Powered Assault Armour

Price 921,000 Level  17

EAC Bonus: +24 KAC Bonus: +28

Max Dex Bonus: +4 AC Penalty -2 Speed: 30 ft.

Strength: 26 (+8) Damage: 3d8 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 0

Capacity: 80 Usage: 1 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 31

 

Far more technological advances were made with this particular type of powered armour. All the previous improvements were included, such as the Infrared sensor, sealed environment, motion detector, targeting computer and radiation buffer. The force field was improved to blue level, and the weapon was replaced with a Heavy Machine gun. Additional upgrades were introduced, including an upgrade to a Tier 6 computer, the addition of Auto CPR and Injector, a medical interface and finally a fully integrated computer interface. The refractive coating is now DR 17 / Fire and explosives.

 

Mark VII Mjolnir Powered Assault Armour

Price 2,868,500 Level  20

EAC Bonus: +27 KAC Bonus: +30

Max Dex Bonus: +5 AC Penalty -2 Speed: 40 ft.

Strength: 30 (+10) Damage: 4d8 B

Weapon Slots: 0 Upgrade Slots: 0

Capacity: 100 Usage: 1 / hour

Size: Medium Bulk: 33

 

The pinnacle of the Mjolnir line of Powered armour. As with the previous iterations of the suit, it contains the Infrared sensor, sealed environment, motion detector, targeting computer, radiation buffer Auto CPR and Injector, medical interface and the integrated computer interface. The force field has been increased to prismatic, the main weapon a Paragon Reaction Cannon, while the Refractive coating is now 20 DR / Fire and explosive. This also includes an adaptive energy shield.

Special Abilities

Drain Years (Su): When a character is bitten by one of these creatures, they must make a Will save (DC14) or lose 1d6+2 years. This does not age them, instead it reverses aging. Many people might consider this to be a blessing in disguise, but it is not. For every 3 years, the target gains one permanent negative level. To make matters worse, every day the target must make another saving throw or continue to lose years. Eventually this will de-age the character to an adolescent, child, infant and finally the character will cease to exist. This will also happen if the target takes more negative levels than they possess levels. The only way to prevent this from happing is to hunt down and kill the Horologue, or by casting a Remove Affliction. Any permanent negative levels can only be regained by using greater restoration.

Quarian

Racial Traits

Ability Adjustments: -2 Con, +2 Dex, +2 Int

Hit Points: 4

Size and Type: Medium humanoid with the Quarian subtype

Distrust of the Machine: The Quarians created the Geth, and have lived with that mistake ever since. When they are involved in combat against constructs, robots or any clearly non-organic machine, they gain a +2 to hit against such targets.

Natural born engineers: Due to living in ships their entire lives, Quarians are quite technically adept, and as such gain engineering as a class skill and gain a racial bonus of +2 to any engineering check.

Quick reaction: Living in starships possesses hazards of their own. All manner of hazard can end a life before one even knows they are in danger. As such, Quarians gain a +2 circumstance bonus to any saving throw involving environmental hazards (such as explosive decompression, loss of gravity, avoiding a toxic spill and so forth).

Ultraviolet vision: The Quarian possess darkvision 60 ft.

Weak immune system: Quarians suffer a -2 to any fortitude saves when dealing with disease, toxins or similar infections. To make matters worse, every time a track advances, the track advanced by two spots instead of one. Quarians can use any type of armor, as long as it possesses the ability to be fully sealed against the environment. If they ever remove the armor, they must make a Fort save (DC 20) or begin to lose Constitution. This is temporary, but for every 6 hours outside their suit, they must save or lose 1d3 temporary points of Constitution. Once their constitution reaches zero, they will die, and of course their fortitude saves lessen with each loss. They can regain lost constitution by donning their environmental suits and will regain 1 point every 6 hours.

Special Abilities

Blood plague (Ex): The Juggernaut has become infected with the blood plague. This means that whenever it physically attacks a target, they must make a fort save (DC 20) or become infected by the blood plague. This is applied to the infectious bite, punch, bite, and rend and smash.

Ground Pound (Ex): As a full round action, the Blood plague juggernaut can smash with both fists on the ground. This will affect a radius of 20 feet and anyone caught in the area of effect (including other zombies) must make a Ref save (DC 20) or suffer 4d6+14 damage, and automatically be knocked prone. To make matters worse, all those in the area of effect must make a Fort save (DC 20) or become infected with the blood plague. The blood plague virus will remain in the area of effect for an additional 2d4+4 rounds. Anyone entering the area of effect must immediately save or contract the plague.

Hurl Item (Ex): As a standard action, this creature can hurl large items such as rocks, furniture, people, animals etc. and has a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls with thrown rocks. A creature can hurl rocks up to two categories smaller than its size; for example, this creature can hurl Small rocks. A “rock” is any large, bulky, and relatively regularly shaped object made of any material with a hardness of at least 5. The creature can hurl the rock up to five range increments. The size of the range increment varies with the creature.

Infectious bite (Ex): Anyone bitten by one of these creatures must make a Fort save (DC 20) or become infected with Blood plague.

Rend and smash (Ex): If both punches hit in combat, they are able to grab a victim. They can lift the victim for a free bite, which will not require an attack roll and the bite will do an additional 25% damage (rounded up). They will then smash the victim into the ground, causing an additional 5d10+30 points of damage and the victim will have to make a Fort saving throw (DC 20) or become stunned for 1d6 rounds. The next round the Juggernaut can attempt to hold onto the victim and continue to attack in such a manner. This is a combat maneuver and the Juggernaut attacks at +24 to the roll. It must make a successful attack roll versus the victim’s KAC +9. If it succeeds, then the same rules apply for the damage inflicted. If it fails, then the target escapes its grasp.

Special Abilities

Blood plague (Ex): The bloater has become infected with the blood plague. This means that whenever it physically attacks a target, they must make a fort save (DC 11) or become infected by the blood plague. This is applied to explosive, gaseous discharge and the infectious bite.

Changing Bite (Sp) The bloater can bite a regular zombie and this will infect it with the mutated virus. The regular zombie does not get a saving throw. Instead it will begin to mutate into a new bloater in 3d12 hours. The regular zombie will begin to bloat and take on the characteristics of the bloater and once the transformation is complete, it becomes a bloater.

Explosive (Ex) If they are hit by any slashing or piercing weapons the creature must make a Fort save (DC10 +1 for every 3 points of damage inflicted). If the save fails, the creature explodes in a 20 ft. radius, destroying it in the process. The explosion is purely negative energy, mixed in with the gas it produces. This negative energy will heal any damage suffered by any undead in the vicinity (including members of its own type). All targets in that radius are allowed a Ref save (DC 14) or they suffer 3d6+2 damage. If the victim is foolish enough to stay in the area of effect, they will suffer an additional 3d6+2 damage per round! If this kills them, they will automatically rise as a regular zombie in 1d4 rounds. The cloud will remain for 1d6 minutes before it finally dissipates.

Gaseous discharge (Ex) The creatures constantly emit a gaseous cloud which surrounds them to a radius of 15 ft. Anyone entering this cloud must make a Fort save (DC 11) or are nauseated. Once they leave the area of effect, they will lose the condition after 1d4 rounds. This cloud also contains the same virus which can turn the living into undead monsters, including the blood plague. The same rules apply for the infectious bite (below). Note this only affects those creatures that need to breathe!

Hide in the pack (Su) The bloater will use packs of normal zombies as cover, allowing them to keep it hidden until it is too late. Anyone attempting to spot a bloater will have to make a perception check with a DC equal to 10 plus the number of regular zombies. So if there are 7 regular zombies, anyone trying to spot the bloater would require a DC 17 perception check.

Infectious bite (Ex) Anyone bitten by a bloater must make a Fort save (DC 11) or become infected with the virus. Every 24 hours the victim is allowed another Fort saving throw (DC 11) or lose 1d3 points of Constitution. When the Constitution score reaches zero, the victim dies and will rise as a either a regular zombie (01-80%) or a Rotted zombie (81-00%).  A cure disease or other similar spell, spell-like ability, or medical drug will cure the victim, and the lost Constitution score will return at the victims’ natural healing rate per day.

Special Abilities

Burst of Speed (Ex) Once per day, the creature is capable of boosting its normal speed, doubling it for a short duration.  When this occurs, the creatures speed becomes 60 ft. per round. This burst of speed will last for 4 plus 1d6 rounds before the creature resumes its regular speed. During this period, the creature is fully capable of making two attacks per round with its claws, or one slam and one claw.

Consumption (Ex) When the creature uses its bite attack, for every six hit points of damage it inflicts, it is able to re-use its Burst of Speed ability. If the creature has not used the burst of speed, then the creature cannot benefit from this particular ability, nor does it allow the creature to build a reservoir of additional uses of this ability.

Create Spawn (Su) Any creature that is slain by a Feral becomes a regular Zombie in 1d4 minutes. There is a 10% chance the slain victim will instead rise as a Feral instead of a regular zombie. They lose all memories and personality as well as any classes, skills or other abilities. They retain an animal-like cunning and gain the skills of a Feral.

Infectious bite (Sp) Anyone bitten by one of these creatures must make a Fort save (DC 15) or become infected with the blood plague.

Slam Knockdown (Ex) When the Feral hits with its slam attack, the target must make a Ref save (DC 15) or be knocked prone. If the slam attack is a critical, the attack inflicts an additional 1d6 B damage and the target is automatically knocked prone (although targets with the evasion ability are still afforded a saving throw to prevent being knocked prone.

Special Abilities

Blood plague Scream (Su) The blood plague screamer can use this scream once every second round. It has an area effect of 30 feet and anyone caught in this area of effect must make a Fort save (DC 12) or suffer 2d6 points of damage, and are automatically infected with the blood plague. Those who fail the saving throw are stunned for 1d3 rounds, and are also deafened for 1d6 rounds.  Note this ability only affects living tissue – it will not harm undead, constructs or similar types.

Changing Bite (Sp) The blood plague screamer can bite a regular zombie and this will infect it with the mutated virus. The regular zombie does not get a saving throw. Instead it will begin to mutate into a new blood plague screamer in 1d3 days. During this period, the zombie can still attack, but any claw or punch damage inflicted is reduced by half as the arms begin to atrophy and eventually fall off. If they bite and un-infected individual, the usual rules for the infectious bite apply.

Infectious bite (Ex) Anyone bitten by one of these creatures must make a Fort save (DC 12) or become infected with the blood plague. See the blood plague entry for more information.

Summon (Sp) The scream emitted from this undead monster will attract any type of zombie within a five mile radius. Typically 4d4 zombies will appear within 1d4 rounds, but the GM can decide how many other zombies are nearby.  Any zombies who hear the scream will heed the call and will move at their maximum movement rate towards the location of the screamer. Even if this undead monster is killed, any zombies that were within the range of the scream will home in on the location.

 

Blood Plague

 

Something has caused the virus that caused the Zombie Outbreak to mutate and evolve. This new version began to show up around six months after the initial outbreak occurred. It’s not as if the regular virus which turned people into the walking dead was bad enough – this plague made them far, far worse.

Regular zombies infected by the blood plague pass it on through physical contact, and the more damage the undead inflicts, the faster the plague will set and kill the victim. All undead infected with the blood plague have their remaining flesh turn a deep crimson, while whatever hair they had turns obsidian. Even the eyes glow a bright red, making them easy to spot in the darkness.

Once a victim has sustained physical damage from the undead, they must make a Fort save (DC based on the type of undead attacking them). If the save fails, then they have contracted the blood plague, and have only a short period of time before it kills them and turns them into a blood plague zombie.

This only affects actual hit-point damage. An attack that inflicts only stamina damage does not require a saving throw. However, every time the victim takes hit-point damage, they must immediately make another fort save. Each time they fail, the disease track moves forward by one category. After debilitated, the victim dies and rises as a blood-plague zombie in 1d3 rounds.

Blood Plague is special in the fact that once contracted, unless the victim has access to the actual cure, they will die within 2.5 hours. Even if the victim does not encounter further blood plague zombies, every 30 minutes the track automatically advances one step, until they die.

The effects of the plague can be held at bay by making a successful medical check, DC 15. This will prevent the plague from advancing one step, but this is only temporary. Instead of advancing every 30 minutes, it is instead every 12 hours.

The only way to cure blood plague is the actual cure, which requires medicine, chemicals and actual blood plague samples, which can be obtained from any infected zombie. In order to successfully harvest samples from such a creature, a medicine or life sciences check (DC 15) is required. If it is successful, then enough samples are harvested and the cure can be crafted. If the check fails, there are no useable tissue samples in the undead creature.

Crafting the cure requires medicine and chemicals worth 500 credits, and a sample. A successful medicine check is required (DC 12), and requires 30 minutes to produce one dose of cure. If the check fails, the chemicals and medicine can be used, but a new sample of the blood plague must be obtained.
