I know this is a thread for 3E/PF, but I'd like to point out that healing without clerics is handled well in 5E (and also 4E, I guess) by allowing each character to restore lost hit points by expending "Hit Dice". This actually means that 5E is well suited to a low-magic sword and sorcery game...

Low-magic campaigns, you say? For 3.5E and Pathfinder, you say? I feel I have to mention the FREE Player's Guide to the World of Xoth for Pathfinder which is a 60-page PDF that contains chapters on the Races, Cultures, Classes, Swords, Sorcery, Cults, Lands, and Legends of Xoth; in short...

Sunken Temples and Serpent-Haunted Vaults Enter the City of Stone and slay the high priest of Jul-Juggah! Plunder the ancient gold of Namthu! Seek the fabled jewel of Khadim Bey, but beware the nameless horrors of the Al-Khazi desert! Fight the dread adepts of the ape-god, or succumb to the...

A tattered treasure map and the whispers of an old god lead to a cyclopean temple on a remote island. Will you plunder the ancient gold of Namthu, or become a slave to the call from the abyss? "The Call from the Abyss" is a stand-alone sword and sorcery adventure module, inspired by the pulp...

And yet, here we are, with 69 posts stretching over 7 pages of discussion. But hey, you've got it all figured out, so move along...

Also, in the 2024 PHB, you can now drink an Antitoxin to negate the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. So just stack up on these and you are immune to disease... :)

Why does everything have to be magical? Sewer Plague, from the 2014 rules, is specifically nonmagical (and also includes a description on how to nonmagically recover from the disease).

That would be great, but are there any details on that in the core rules somewhere?

Of course, that depends on what you classify as "the average D&D game", but I'll just quote from the 2014 SRD: https://www.5esrd.com/gamemastering/diseases "A plague ravages the kingdom, setting the adventurers on a quest to find a cure. An adventurer emerges from an ancient tomb, unopened for...

Under 2014 rules, you are not also "Poisoned" when you are diseased. I guess they will rewrite any monsters that cause disease for the 2024 MM to make them inflict the Poisoned condition instead, but for compatibility with 2014 monsters and third-party monsters that cause disease, they might as...
