There is not enough information to use the diseases in this product. Does the player make a save every long rest? does the ongoing penalty apply for the next xdx hours/days, or does it indicate the interval between saves to avoid another application of the penalty?

Your product need to explain its mechanics better.

Apologies if the layout and verbiage is confusing, but I have a section above the D30 chart of diseases on page 4 that describes what the abbreviated entries in the table mean. It lists each disease by name, then its most common method of infection, then its save DC, then how long it takes for the first symptoms to occur (along with the symptoms), and then how often the player makes a save against its ongoing effects (with the cumulative penalty inflicted if they fail the save). The penalties are supposed to keep accruing as the diseases ravage the character and cannot be healed until they are cured of it or succeed on three saves against the disease in total.

Was there anything else you found confusing, bad, or unbalanced?

Nothing unbalanced. But the section was not effective at conveying the mechanics. I had actually seen it before posting my message and it was that sparse description that prompted my message. Thankfully my houseruling for the diseases turned out to be similar to your clarification, so now I just need to do what I've already been doing. I actually like your product since it details real life diseases and how one could implement them in a campaign.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
