[QUOTE="Eldritch_Lord, post: 5741404, member: 52073"] While I'm not going to take a side in this discussion overall, I would like to clarify one point: As a matter of fact, it [I]is[/I] important to include that line, because of the change in the way diseases worked from 2e to 3e. What are considered to be "magical diseases" in 3.0 were considered to be "curses" in 2e. The 2e paladin entry contains the following ability: The 3e paladin entry for divine health, then, specifically mentions those magical diseases so that players and DMs realize that paladins are now immune to them when previously they were not: The important point there is not the [I]including supernatural magical diseases[/I] part, which would be inserted if there were a doubt that "all means all," but rather the [I]such as mummy rot and lycanthropy[/I] part, which is inserted for the benefit of players switching over to a new system from AD&D.
