Infection - Unknown Percentage

[zztong]

In one sense, knowing that you're infected and knowing the percentage, you get plenty of warning to go stand by your bedroll. You also get to know exactly which medication will cure you.

 

Would it be more suspenseful if at first you didn't know you were infected and that you never knew the percentage... unless you had the Physician trait.

 

For percentages 0-5, display no state unless you are a physician. Show a physician "minor infection."

For percentages 6-26, show an "infected" state. Or, show "minor infection" to a physician.

For percentages 26-75, show an "infected" state. Or, show "moderate infection" to a physician.

For percentages 76+, show an "infected" state. Or, show a "major infection" to a physician.

 

For multiplayer, let a physician see the state of other players, perhaps with some icon above their head, coloring of the player's face, or something.
