rabies comes to mind, although that might fit more as a berserker archetype.

Which begs the question, what other diseases can be made into interesting patrons, or archetypes for other classes?

• Ludomania and erotomania could be interesting for a multiclassed Bard IMO.
• Intermittent Explosive Disorder could work for a berserker or a fighter (but rabies may be even more fun)
• Hypermetabolism for a rogue or a monk

This is kuru as a warlock patron.

Which begs the question, what other diseases can be made into interesting patrons, or archetypes for other classes? Cancer with body manipulation and possible eventual immortality? The common cold with the ability to infect people and turn them into your minions?

I mean, it's not that much of a stretch. D&D's spore druids gave us cordyceps zombies.
