Greater Diseases and Curses, 5e Variant Rules
Inspired by https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/5e_Diseases New Categorization Diseases and curses are sometime catastrophic, and defy normal D&D-specific treatments and cures.

This progress varies and will be described for each disease/curse individually. The speed with which this happens will be based on time, various factors, and saving throws. Greater and Soul Bound Diseases/Curses Effects: Most diseases have one or more ongoing effects. Each will describe how fast it sets in, what it does, and if it ever goes away.
