I know I over- and under-tuned almost everything so everything will need a rework before it could even make it in the game the numbers are just things that sound balanced and aren't balanced at all
Lore
Pestis is a character that is feared by the masses as he spreads diseases old and new at a rapid rate and not only that. The diseases personally spread by Pestis are mysteriously more deadly and evolve faster then thought possible. His goals are unknown but many are sure that he is up to no good. As many that stumbled upon him would confirm, if they were still alive that is. Pestis is a rarely seen figure and could be mistaken for just another cloaked criminal from far away and were it not for his foul stench from up close to.Pestis himself isn't "evil on purpose" as he just likes insects and diseases more then normal people and tries to literally make friends that share the same hobbies as him even if that requires force to do so. This need to be reworked though.
