Question regarding fever fetish and regen items

[endomorphious]

Hi as the title says I have a question regarding the fever fetish magic item. If a character with a fever fetish is given a ring of regen or some other regen object will that balance out the disease caused by the fever fetish? I'm playing a glory of the gods, non-CBM, 14 AI player game, as EA C'tis and have fairly easy access to them, but not sure I want to sacrifice my 100gp researchers as disease mules.

Yes. Don't give it to them until they're down a few points or they won't generate gems. They'll still lose a hp every year and have a chance of getting more afflictions.
Bear in mind that this raises the cost of fever fetish and thus pushes back your break-even point.
If you have a N bless, shrouds are the cheapest option.

Didn't take the nature bless but excellent idea (the shroud), if i replay C'tis again. If i empower my pretender to lvl 4 will she get the blessing from the empowerment, or is it just for skills in the build phase?

Just the initial build.

Nice link Natpy. That article didn't come up when I did a forums search.
