A review I recently read of Forgive Us suggested that the adventure should be UNDER 4th level... because at lvl 4 magic using characters may have gained powers that could truncate a significant element of the adventure... but the spell they're concerned with (Cure Disease) is listed as a 3rd level spell. Not having read the adventure yet I'm wondering how this spells availability would limit it to only 1st or 2nd level PCs.
"Forgive Us is based on the idea of a magical disease causing all sorts of trouble, so it will be more of a challenge if the player-characters don't have ready access to Cure Disease; as such, the adventure is designed for player-characters around fourth level."
I read this as: the challenge of the adventure itself is set at fourth level, while not having Cure Disease will make it even harder. (Like if there is no Cleric in the group...) When reading over the situation where Cure Disease is helpful, it doesn't have much impact on the adventure itself, other than players being able to prevent themselves from changing (ie, it doesn't negate the threat of the monsters who have already turned).
Of course, the players have to recognize that what's happening is a disease, too.
