Disease Name Generator

Secrets of Five Fingers

Five Fingers is an utterly dirty and filthy place where diseases of all types run rampant. Instead of saying an NPC has “a cough”, scare the mechanika pants off your players with a name pulled from this generator. The following tables supplement the disease rules on page 152 of Five Fingers: Port of Deceit.

To quickly generate a disease name, roll d% twice. The first result is the descriptor from List 1, and the second is the symptom, from List 2. If the result isn’t euphonic or is too nonsensical, give it a tweak or just roll again.
