I assume you mean 1+ for rot because 12+ means you only have an 8% chance of rot.

also the rules state you can't get less than 1dice. consider giving the creature 2 attacks like this.


1. "bite" melee attack 1 dice

2. "rotting sting"
as a full action turn you can place a rot token on a living creature in the same zone

That card idea leads to an interesting spawn point... HIVE.

I intended to make a cheap (1 cost) creature that usually does nothing, but occasionally distracts the opponent or infects with poison which the mosquito happened to be carrying.  This is just a mosquito, not a dangerous, large, or poisonous creature.

The rules state (under Aegis in code): Attacks cannot be reduced below 1 die.

I don't think this means an attack cannot start with 0 dice.  As clarification on my card idea, the attack indicates "no damage".  You cannot Bear Strength the mosquito and expect more out of it.

The new Giant Wolf Spider has a 0 base damage attack ranged for his web.
