General Rules: Feats - Bearer of Plagues

Bearer of Plagues [Wild] (adapted from the Player's Guide to Clerics and Druids)
You can allow a contagion to linger within you and infest others with a touch.
   Prerequisites: Ability to wild shape, Heal 4+ ranks.
   Benefit: If you have been exposed to and survive a disease, you may spend a use of wild shape to retain the sickness within your body. You may only use this ability on a disease that you are required to make a saving throw against, whether or not the disease actually affects you. You then have three days from the time of expending your wild shape to use this feat to infest a single target with the disease: You use a daily use of your wild shape ability and make a Heal check (DC equal to the disease's Fortitude save) when attempting to infest a victim. If the Heal check is successful, the target has been exposed to the disease and must make the appropriate saving throws.

Once you have passed on the disease, it leaves your system and you are no longer capable of infesting others. You may expend a daily use of your wild shape ability when the disease's duration within your body expires in order to keep the disease "active" beyond the normal three day limit. You may encounter and use the same disease multiple times, with the same rules applying each time. At any given time, you may only hold one contagion within your body with this feat.
