Ok, here's my problem; I've got a particular monster in one of my campaigns and I don't know if it's too mean to put in. It's a mummy. It'll be placed in front of a level 1-2 party, and it's got a CR of 3. Only 42 hp, so the party will probably kill it quite quickly. BUT it is infected with Mummy Rot, a nasty disease. Fortitude save DC on mummy rot is something like 18, and the disease does about 1d6 points of constitution damage per day. If constitution reaches 0, the infected person dies.
What I want to know, is am I being too harsh giving this to the party? Bearing in mind they probably won't have a cleric around (not that it makes a lot of difference; remove disease is a high level spell) and the monster is a good week away from the nearest city. So, gimme your thoughts on this please.
