Fever

[teh bunneh]

Does anyone have any ideas on how one would duplicate the effects of a fever (or a disease that causes a fever)? How about any ideas on how to reproduce other common (real-world) ailments and symptoms?

Thanks!

For the kind of mild illness that keeps you home from work:

Drain to various stats (End, Str, Con) with the recovery time extended to about a day.

For a minor cold that makes you cranky but isn't enough to justify some dedicated recovering:

How about a negative skill level/PSL or two?
