Specific Consequences

Wounds (Kharnage: Blood Bowl)
Pick a Nurgle piece, other than the Beast of Nurgle, not revealed to the GM. Nurgle doesn’t have the option to field that piece at a set up.
Win + Side Goal Wounds are no more dangerous absent unusual conditions.
Mixed Result Significant wounds should be treated with folk remedies or simple magic to prevent infection.
Loss + Failed Goal Even minor wounds commonly become severely infected absent serious magical healing.
Food Spoilage (Smash: Estate and Grabit: Restaurant)
Nurgle has at least four Rotters end up in the casualty box (i.e., including expulsions).
Win + Side Goal Food preservation stays much the same.
Mixed Result Food preservation becomes more difficult and expensive.
Loss + Failed Goal Ruinous food spoilage threatens the practicality of urban living.
Material Rot (Smash: Primacy and Grabit: Goblin Organizing)
Don’t have a player die that would become a rotter (if Nurgle’s roster limitations were ignored).
(The player must be killed during a block, blitz, or foul action (e.g., not a surf or failed dodge), their strength cannot exceed 4, and they cannot have the decay, regeneration, or stunty skills.)
Win + Side Goal No change to the longevity of natural materials.
Mixed Result Natural materials require more meaningful effort to maintain.
Loss + Failed Goal Natural materials degrade quickly enough to significantly reduce standards of living.
Childrearing (Kharnage, Genghis, and Smash: Family)
Mercato succeeds at a check made more difficult by disturbing presence.
Win + Side Goal Children are not particularly prone to disease.
Mixed Result Childhood becomes more dangerous, most of which can be offset with simple preventatives.
Loss + Failed Goal Few families can afford the magic to prevent significant childhood mortality.
Hygiene (Genghis: Basketball and Grabit: Goblin Organizing)
Nurgle doesn’t have the option to field more than two Pestigors at a set up.
Win + Side Goal Hygiene remains a matter of presentability.
Mixed Result Basic cleanliness becomes necessary to prevent disease.
Loss + Failed Goal Cities and other crowded spaces become dangerously filthy.
Endemic Disease (Smash: Primacy)
TBD
Win + Side Goal There is no endemic disease.
Mixed Result It becomes common for people to periodically suffer from minor disease.
Loss + Failed Goal Absent magical protection, people can suffer a succession of debilitating diseases.
Epidemic Disease (Genghis: Basketball)
Mercato succeeds against foul appearance no worse than expected.
Win + Side Goal There are no epidemics.
Mixed Result Epidemics are limited to a particular race.
Loss + Failed Goal Pandemics sweep across cities, irrespective of race.
Nurgle’s Rot (Kharnage: Blood Bowl)
TBD
Win + Side Goal Nurgle’s Rot is difficult to spread.
Mixed Result Epidemics of Nurgle’s Rot periodically arise.
