On the flip side, disease immunity has been a thing for paladins for a long time, and it’s not that strong and ability, mostly ribbon until that once in a blue moon occasion.

It's kind of just one more thing hemming in what sort of challenges DMs can effectively throw at players, and one more thing DM's have to remember when planning, while at the same time being something that will never come up at the average table.On the flip side, disease immunity has been a thing for paladins for a long time, and it’s not that strong and ability, mostly ribbon until that once in a blue moon occasion.
