Maluses

See also the page on illnesses.

Here are the most common maluses:

	Addict	Caused by an excessive dose of anti-depressants, this malus, which lasts a few days, causes a strong instability in morale.
	Pregnant	This malus is ambivalent, it is at the same time a malus and a bonus. It appears in pregnant ewes and in rams awaiting the birth of their offspring: The ewe is weakened by its pregnancy and has a physical malus of 30% resistance. It adds 2 points onto morale and causes the sheep to gain a little extra weight. This effect is temporary and morale falls again at the time of birth. However your ewe will not suffer from the "baby blues".
	Intoxication/Poisoning	Caused by poisonous mushrooms (red and white). Lasts for 3 days. Causes loss of weight and morale. For each day of its effect there is a chance that the sheep vomits, which dirties its wool and its shelter, makes him lose weight and become unhappy.
	Lice	Sheep can catch this charming parasite on a walk. This vermin tends to strongly decrease the commercial value of a sheep's wool (malus of -5 on your note of quality). Fortunately lice disappear of their own accord after 9 days. An anti-lice shampoo is available from the pharmacy to rid your animal of its undesirable hosts. The veterinary surgeon can also carry out total disinfection of your flock.
	Cold	Sheep can catch a cold whilst taking a walk in the rain. A cold causes a slight decrease in weight each day (-0.2 kg/day). It can be cured without treatment on its own (each day there is a 1 in 4 chance that the cold is cured). Very effective anti-cold pills are available at the pharmacy and the marketplace has them too for a moderate price.
	Wool QualityBlack and speckled sheep have a malus on the quality of their wool, which causes them never to reach 20/20 in quality.
	Growth	Certain breeds such as Angoras have a malus of -10% in growth.
	Total immunity from all beneficial spells	This is a malus which all russet-red or pink sheep have. They cannot benefit from any beneficial magic spells.
	Poor Magician	This is a malus which all russet-red or pink sheep have. These sheep have only a -50% chance to succeed when casting a spell.
	Tarred and Feathered	A punishment reserved for sheep who have been caught with their hands in the bag! Duration is 20 days. Minus 3 in appearance (reversed once the malus is gone), wool reverts to the lowest quality and minus 5 in morale.
	Malnutrition	Caused by the lack of attention and food, a sheep not fed for several days could become the victim of malnutrition. This malus can have an impact on morale, wool quality, strength becomes 0, can cause the loss of certain characteristics and the death of the sheep in the case of diseases. It disappears when the sheep is well fed again for several days.
