[QUOTE="Hooly, post: 3993365, member: 9370"] I don't think its a matter of "leave the poor Binder alone". I like to have consistancy across the board with rules hence my question. I will though point out the issue with Binders as I see it and probably the reason I will never allow a Binder in a game again. Binders are all classes. In some cases, binders are weaker than their "real class" counterparts, but mostly, I am finding that the class is TOO versatile and overshadows the other player classes. And the Expel Vestige as a feat just makes it worse. Is there a Cleric or Mage Feat that allows a character to re-learn all of their spells in 2 rounds? I think not. So my ruling, just to close the argument, is this: 1) Naberius, The Grinning Hound - Ability to replace lost ability points Yes, this will work to bring the lost ability points back, but will do nothing to remove the curse/disease. 2) Buer, Grandmother Huntress - Ability to be immune to disease This will not work against Mummy Rot. The main reasoning for this has more to do with the Vestige more than anything else. In the description it says: "Buer grants you healing powers, the ability to ignore toxins and ailments, and skills that help you navigate the natural world" It also goes on to say that the ability of Buer's Purity that the binder is immune to diseases and poisons. This seems to be again directed at "the natural world" not against supernatural diseases. As a result, it would act as the clerical spell [i]Remove Curse[/i] would, in that the Binder would be required to make a Caster Level Check. Even though this maybe a constant thing, the Binder will only make the check once per day. This would also apply to those around the Binder with the Delay Disease and Poison section of the ability.
