Giant Flea

Fleas are a common nuisance in a pre -modern world, but seldom offer any real danger. Flea swarms are worse, and represent the accumulated actions of hundreds of thousands of fleas. Giant fleas are the size of a small dog. If a giant flea hits a target, it latches on and drains blood resulting in 1d3 points of Strength or Stamina damage (equal chance of each) every round. A giant flea which has drained blood equal to 6 points of combined attribute damage is sated and drops off. A character who has encountered fleas or a flea swarm must succeed in a Luck check or become infested with fleas. Those traveling with such an unfortunate must check each day or become infested themselves. Gnats: Fort DC 20 to gain the benefits of rest overnight.
