Rudra appears as a man with a red complexion and blue neck.
He governs both the spread of disease and its remedies.
He can also create and control storms.
All of his treasure is kept in a special portable hole that opens into an extra-dimensional AREA approximately the same size as the Grand Canyon. <map! R7-10?>

Rudra possesses a magical black bow from which he shoots his arrows of disease.
These inflict 2-20 points of damage on a hit,
and infect the victim with a rotting disease like that resulting from a mummy's touch. <link, or summarize>
(Save vs. death at -6 negates this effect.)
With these arrows,
he spreads disease among those whose time of death has come.

Legends & Lore
Rudra's avatar carries a bow that fires arrows forcing any being struck to save vs. disease or contract a rotting disease that permanently reduces the victim's Charisma and Constitution by 1d4 points per round. A cure disease halts the disease, but cannot restore lost Charisma or Constitution.
