    "May Become Septic if Victim Survives"

    Various venomous snakes have this “may become septic if victim survives” verbiage regarding their bite wounds. That looked fine to my editorial eyes, but now I need to rule on it as a referee, because (lo and behold) a PC was bitten thrice by vipers and survived. The game effects of septic wounds aren’t detailed. I’m thinking of applying a slower version of the inflict disease spell but am open to suggestions from the forum.

    I agree that the simplest thing would be to use the rules for one of the existing diseases, such as the one caused by inflict disease.

    @DMPrata, yes, I'd do the same thing.
