Message: <blockquote data-quote="plecostomus" data-source="post: 9481953" data-attributes="member: 7040041">Posting a few more Cleric spells since I feel like some of the current direction stems from someone staring really hard at 2014 Contagion text and possibly 2014 Raise Dead.But what I would like to see is the 2024 DMG section on Diseases (or Contagions, since the word disease seems entirely avoided outside of one spell name).The question of the "plot disease" that is not immediately solved by a Cleric/Paladin is the part the DMG needs to go into more, since that's what the DM may want to use for an adventure. And I'm also not sure if "magical contagion" means there is also "nonmagical contagion", or if all disease-like effects must be magical and/or replaced by the Poisoned condition (potentially with riders) in 2024.The 2024 Contagion spell creates a magical contagion with the effect of Poisoned condition + riders, so it's not as simple as nonmagical disease = Poisoned condition.There is also a single mention of "rot" in the 2024 Purify Food and Drink, seemingly replacing the concept of foodborne disease. We know why we don't eat the rotting hamburger in real life, but why mechanically don't we eat it in DnD? jk...maybe.Some other Cleric spell changes related to diseases:14 Detect Poison and Disease24 Detect Poison and Disease[HR][/HR]14 Purify Food and Drink24 Purify Food and Drink[HR][/HR]14 Contagion24 Contagion[HR][/HR]14 Raise Dead24 Raise Dead[HR][/HR]14 Heal24 Heal[HR][/HR]14 Heroes Feast24 Heroes Feast[HR][/HR]14 True Resurrection24 True Resurrection</blockquote>
