Making Diseases in D&D More Fun! 

I really like that players still get to choose. Thanks, Anto!

I'm running an ancient egyptian-themed game and i have been looking for a similar solution to the classic tomb curses and mummy diseases. Theres a cleric on the party so obviously everything gets cured either same day or the next morning. I guess i never considered treating them like pf2e mutagens! This is a good idea!

Very interesting idea! I like that it rewards the players initially

Superb! I love your content, Anto!

I like the ideas here, but six stages sounds like a lot. I'd cut it to 3 or 4. The one thing that you could have done instead, or in tandem, would be to ensure the quest had an urgent time limit. If the whole town will mutate if they don't complete the quest in 2 days, then they don't have time to screw around curing themselves.

Oh my God! Rip

For me, I use a different method of curing disease... I do not like that these can be cured with a simple spell. It may well do... but in RL you need to know what you are curing... The cleric or paladin needs to identify the disease first, then use the minor variant (spell is the same but now is focusing on a single issue) which focuses the healing of that disease. I think of it that the lesser restoration in this is similar to that of a panacea. If may still cure the disease, but has a 5% chance of working (if the disease is not id'd).... Instead they need to identify the disease, considering that i do not tell them what it is, just what the symptoms are. Once the disease is identified then the restoration spell is 'adjusted' to cure the disease. giving a 95% chance of curing, and potentially still a chance for relapse.... (yes i'm evil) I also sometimes for the rarer diseases require supplements (herbal or magical) to assist, meaning the curing is delayed further if these are required, and need to be obtained. I also do the same for poisons, considering that you typically need the antivenom. I do like the ideas of the elements of this, making disease seem benign, but gradually get worse, so i will be taking this and adding it to my version...mwahahaha
