Editing Dog of War (section)

===Black Dog===
Also known as '''Sick Dogs''', '''Famine Dogs''', '''Rag Tags'''.<ref name="Doom">'''Dog Tags (Famine-type/Black Dogs)''' - Come about in areas where conflict is prolonged and a great many innocents are suffering and dying by the secondary effects of the conflict.  Roughly one exists for every twenty Dogs of War in a given region.  Appears as the elderly, a child, a waif, a disabled individual, or other clear noncombatant.  Either does not fight or does not fight well, but sticks close to their own kind.  Interferes with ''non-physical'' attempts at binding other Dog Tags, but can be bound as any ghost or incorporeal being might.  May have a mild aura effect- could include attracting bugs or rats to an area, encouraging disease, mental afflictions, inflicting mental scars, or slowing the rate of healing wounds, though depleting food and supplies are the most common.  If slain or even sometimes if harmed, will effectively or automatically curse the one who attacked them with a dramatically exaggerated effect of whatever their aura was, lasting until the conflict that spawned the Famine-Type comes to an end.  Slow to evolve or develop as independent entities, which generally requires that the curses they inflict finish off multiple individuals in turn, they respawn, they get killed again, etc.  However, the ones that do evolve are often known as angels of death for their respective area, with the aura getting stronger with each kill (or manifesting if there wasn’t one already). - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q8ziRjPoK-8ctEKjdVzq2CNEydvG5IV308l3t1yWPFY Pact Dice Bestiary: Dog Tags]</ref> Perhaps one will form for every twenty standard Dog Tags. They are to innocent, vulnerable civilians what Dogs of War are to soldiers; the young, the sick, the old. Whoever kills one is cursed (they are as immortal as regular Dog Tags); some are strong enough to curse whoever hurts, or even slights them. They serve as leaders or guides, giving the others direction.<ref>“A leader?” Lucy asked.<br><br>“Another kind.  For every twenty or so of the rest of us, you might see one Black Dog, one Rag Tag.  They come from civilians like I come from soldiers, but… they come from wrongs, from pain, attrition.  They’ll look like kids.  Or like old men or women.  Kill them, you get sick, or something twists inside you and you can’t eat enough anymore, or… you get cold and you can’t warm up.  A curse.  The strong ones, you can’t even hurt them or say an unkind word without them laying something on you in turn.  And they come back too.  They protect us, walk into firefights, stop other kinds of binding than just the circles.  They give us direction, motivation.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/23 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.5]]</ref><ref name=":6">“I don’t know much.  She was gone before I was a practitioner, and she’s a touchy subject for him.  Dogs of War have a multitude of subcategories and varieties.  Labels are rarely tidy, and Dogs of War are something that emerges naturally, for lack of a better way of putting it.  Dog Meat emerge from multiple killings at the hands of serial killers or more violent goblins, Hang Dogs from lynchings and hate, Blast Dogs from areas that have been traumatized, and Sick, Famine, and Black Dogs are rare ones from the more vulnerable innocents killed in those crises, usually the leaders or guides for collected packs and combinations of Dogs of War.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/19 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.4]]</ref> Sick Dogs tend to spread sickness.<ref name=":5"/> They tend to be less human, since they can't kill people as easily to clarify themselves.<ref name=":4" />
