While rivalries exist among the orders, there is a limit to how far such conflicts can go; allowing a disease to die out would be considered an offense to their gods. Given their capacity for cooperation, the Diseased are the most likely slitherin to seek joint ventures with other nests, particularly when they require brute strength for their cunning plots. \n'b' The Diseased prefer to strike from stealth, with ranged weapons ideally, rather than attack directly in melee.'
