Burning Slumber Outbreak

[Ravenblade]

Short answers:
1) Yes, by restoring lost ability points that affect saves, as well as through temporarily improving fatigue and exhaustion (where applicable)
2) Only within the bounds of core rules, although there may be some items that grant disease immunity. Example: Periapt of Health

In that case Kearse will cast his lone Lesser Restoration on poor Olotte Sod to bolster her Constition.  In the book it says that long term care is considered light activity for the care giver, will that allow Kearse time to memorize spells?  If so he would like to temporarily amend his spell list thus:
1st level spells) expend a Light of Lunia spell for an additional Healthful Rest (for a total of two of those spells).
2nd level spells) expend all prepared spells, except Domain, (as healing spells cast on the afflicted, except for the Lesser Restoration already cast on Misses Sod) then memorize 6 Lesser Restoration spells.
3rd level spells) expend all spells, except Domain, (as healing spells on the afflicted) then memorize 4 or 5 Mass Conviction spells.
4th level spells) expend all spells, except Domain, (as healing spells on the afflicted) then memorize 4 Restoration spells.

P.S. Does Divine Health prevent Kearse from becoming a carrier of pathogens, does a supernatural immunity preclude him from becoming a vector?
P.P.S. When the staff of healing returns he will use Lesser Restoration, Restoration spells from it until his own spells are amended.  Also he would like to clear his Ring of Spell Storing and place a Lesser Restoration and a Detect Evil in it (A 2nd level and a 1st level spell = 3) after this disease is dealt with.

The Lesser Restoration and Healthful Rest spells will help in mitigating any decline during treatment, as well as bolster the patients for when the healer is forced to rest.


As far as required rest and regaining spells:
To prepare daily spells, an arcane spellcaster must first rest for 8 hours. Sleep isn’t required for the whole time, but arcanists must refrain from movement, combat, spellcasting, skill use, conversation, or any other demanding physical or mental task during the rest period. If this rest is interrupted, each interruption adds 1 hour to the total amount of time an arcane spellcaster must rest to clear the mind. Immediately prior to preparing spells, arcane spellcasters must have at least 1 hour of uninterrupted rest. Creatures that don’t need to sleep still require 8 hours of restful calm before preparing any spells.

A divine spellcaster chooses and prepares spells ahead of time, just as an arcanist does. To prepare any spell, a divine spellcaster must have a peaceful environment that allows for proper concentration, just as an arcane spellcaster does. However, a divine spellcaster doesn’t require a period of rest to do so. Instead, the spellcaster chooses a particular time of day to prepare spells. This time is usually associated with some daily event important to the deity, religion, or creed a divine spellcaster follows. If a divine spellcaster is prevented from preparing spells at the proper time, he must do so as soon as possible. If unable to stop and prepare spells at the first opportunity, a divine spellcaster must wait until the next day to prepare spells.

This means that Kearse needs only get enough rest to prevent fatigue and exhaustion, avoiding it with a series of rest periods (naps, relaxation, etc.) between administering treatment, and can regain his spells after an hour of preparation at dawn each day even though he may not rest for the full 8 hours.

While not explicitly preventing him from being a carrier in the Core Rules, I believe Kearse's Divine Health implicitly prevents him from contracting and passing the disease. The only question is where the disease is spread through contact as well, but can be avoided by maintaining sanitation and cleanliness. In short, Kearse has no fear of contracting or passing the Burning Slumber along.
