The Plague Doctor, a dark fantasy background

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.40

NOTE: this contribution is now obsolete, as a new, better version of it has been included in my Multiversatility – Player’s Options Pack.

NOTE: a new version of the Plague Doctor is available, along with three more backgrounds, in my newest work, Backstories, right at this link.

The Plague Doctor will remain as a pwyw preview of the Backstories bundle.

When there are no available clerics, in those lonely and forgotten
vales where the passing of a miracle-maker is a tale for generations,
and when the outbreak of plague pretends its toll, then plague doctors
rise and spread, offering a mundane but nevertheless effective cure to
the afflicted.

The plague doctor provides a new and interesting background, complete in traits and ideals, for those who wish to play as the antagonist of mortals' worst enemy: Death itself.

If you have any suggestion, please write a review and comment. I'm more than eager to update my works to make them more suitable.

Thanks for your review, Kevin. :)
True, the plague doctor seems to work better with a PC that casts no healing spells. However, as a background is "what the adventurer used to do for a living" and not "what the adventurer does for a living", a plague doctor cleric could be a blessed healer that was granted the power to perform miracles by a deity as a gift for the efforts in hepling the afflicted.

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.
