There many afflictions that may befall adventurers in Achaea. Each is unique in its effects. While most are detrimental some may actually be considered advantageous, under certain circumstances.

Afflictions include any of the altered states of being brought on by venoms, curses, psychic manipulation, and various other abilities used by combatants and creatures. The Ring of Pestilence is an enchantment that will target its victim with a random affliction.

As with all things in nature, every ailment has a corresponding cure, whether it be an herb, salve, or elixir. The powerful Tree of Life tattoo can also cure almost all afflictions, along with the priestly skill of Healing. The Gem of Negation and Necklace of Purity are both enchantments that cure afflictions.

Some afflictions may also be considered defences, such as deafness and blindness.
