Well okay a couple questions

First off do diseases/posions stack? So what I mean say I have posion that has power of 50, if I apply it once (and it sticks) it'll do 50dam a tick, then if I apply it right away again (again it sticks) will it now do more damage a tick? and if so is it linear progression so it'll now do 100dam a tick, or does the ammount lessen more times you use it?

poisons DO stack but they have to be different kinds. for example if i toss an area C poison with a 512 effectiveness and a single C with a 630 effectiveness they will each tick for their own damage. this holds true for the B and A versions of area and single poisons as well. so technincally if you could stay alive long enough (good luck with that LOL) you could have 6 different poisons all ticking for their own damage

Secondly when diseases tick, does it take off the current and max values of the ham, or just the max. So say I've posioned somoene and they now have 700/1100 health ham left and my 50 power disease ticks would they drop to 650/1050 or stay at 700/1050?

diseases cause wounds, so the damage comes off the max end like any other wound. as far as i know they do not stack with other diseases. that is to say you can only have ONE health disease ticking every 40 seconds, unlike the poisons where you can have different types ticking on one pool

Thanks for your help
