While prepping all the material I'll need to run the FH campaign, I began attempting to replicate the Paladin's Cure Disease power. However, "disease" as a topic wasn't covered anywhere in the text. I flipped to the Bestiary and they had cited Lycanthropy, the disease, as a Transform (Major) which only had to deal straight body. That would make curing disease (which in many cases is some sort of Transform) a Transform to convert someone from a diseased state to a non-diseased version of themselves.
What are your thoughts? Is this the simplest way to handle it in HERO terms, as a transform? Further, do I have to stipulate what kinds of disease the Paladin's cure encompasses? Could it cure any disease? And, lastly, it specifically states (and this is also reasonable, but I'm mentioning it for the record) that any cure only stops it from dealing additional damage (on poison), it doesn't replace the injury. In that event, would I purchase a "Healing, STR" or any variation on that theme?
