I read the text of the spell. The text is very clear. One of the few completely dropped balls I've seen. I looked in the DMG for some possible clarification as well. Nothing. They did poison, but not disease. Makes no sense.It really does. It says "afflicted with a disease." That means the onset is immediate. It doesn't say afflicted with a disease after failing three saves. It does not say afflicted with a disease after a day. It says "afflicted with a disease." Make a save at the end of each turn. Three saves ends the spell ending the disease. Any ability that ameliorates (lessens in effect) or gives immunity prevents the spell from working.Contagion is an extremely clear spell. Over-powered, but clear.  You could follow it as it is written and it will work exactly how it works including how to end it.What exactly do you think the word "afflict" means? I wonder because the meaning of the word in the context of the spell is clear.The only reason there are threads on the spell are the same reasons I posted one: the spell is a game breaker if you run it as it is written.Suffice it so say, I will end the discussion with you there. You are not providing any helpful information other than your view on the spell. Not how it works in the game. Not any experience with it. That is not helpful at all.</blockquote>
