'''Disease''' is (per Galen and Aristotle) the failure of a bodily function to function for any reason other than external injury. As organs fail, the victim gets progressively sicker until finally something important gives way, like the heart and - finally - brain. Modern usage frequently separates out purely internal malfunctions of biology as "medical syndromes", and reserves "disease" for failures that are in some way externally caused<ref>Although there is significant overlap</ref>.

	Traditionally [[Dungeons & Dragons]] has likened this to [[poison]] sharing the same saving-throw mechanic. Poison works, exactly, to cause organ-failure. More commonly in RPGs disease is associated with transmissible parasites: virus, bacteria, [[Rot Grub]]s, you in your mom's belly... anyway the classic low-level example is the sepsis a [[rogue]] might get from a rusted lock, or the plague any party-member might get from a rat.

	Disease is often used by [[DM]]s as a story-device. As the symptoms progress, getting more and more dire, the party knows they have a time-limit, to save their friend.

	There exists intersection between [[~~Curse~~]] ~~and disease, between the progressive curse~~ and the magical disease. These tend not to be curable by ''remove curse'' or ''cure disease'' alone.

	One classic D&D example is the [[Mummy]] Rot. If you contracted this, your wounds wouldn't heal and you'd decompose.
