Affliction

Affliction are temporary modifiers to a Clanfellow.

Several Afflictions can apply to a Clanfellow at the same time. Each of which will impact one or more Attributes of the Clanfellow until the Affliction wears off. Contrary to contemporary usage, not all Afflictions in game are negatives.

Some contrary Afflictions could be in effect at the same time e.g. Fireside (positive for being near fire) and Sweating (negative for being too hot).
Some Afflictions can be directly impacted by player choices, e.g. assigning a Clanfolk member to a Bed in a Room to prevent the Sleeping Outside affliction, while others can only be mitigated, e.g. Bad Talk.

When looking at the characteristics for a Clanfellow, the Afflictions are displayed in a box below the Traits and just above the Strict Priorities tick box.

Satisfaction is a special Attribute that only applies to Visitors from other Clans, never members of the player's Clan.
Care is an Attribute that only applies to Pets and Livestock.
The Attributes listed in these tables are detailed on that page, those impacting Animals are at the end of that page in a separate section.
