The practitioner of Pestilence is armed where ever they may walk, for their weapons are not of steel or bronze but of chitin and plague. In the darkness the chittering nightmares wait, enthralled to the will of their benefactor. When the skies turn black and the myriad eyes open, one thing can be certain: it is time to feast and there is enough for all. | The practitioner of Pestilence is armed where ever they may walk, for their weapons are not of steel or bronze but of chitin and plague.

While perhaps not as viscerally satisfying as tearing your minions free, infestation is a more subtle working. Though your swarm will be expelled in the process, you can have them leave behind remnants of that plague which they carry, which will manifest at a later time(*).<p>* The plague your swarm is carrying will relapse twice at a later time, though it is not given on the process of infestation itself.</p> | ||
