Its the equivalent of the wizard going, "damn, this locked door would be so easy to get by if I had just prepared the knock spell"However as we all know, adventuring is often a chaotic mix of encounters. You might be fighting mind flayers one minute and dire rats the next. And if the binder hasn't chosen vestiges to match the encounter, then he's only got a grab bag of things he can do.In dnd in general, specialists win out, because a party of specialists can provide general competency. But a binder can't sneak attack like a rogue can, can't cast like a wizard, can't heal like a cleric, can't fight like a fighter. It can help plug those niches when needed, but it never replaces them.Alright, that's my rant. Let's get back to the OP's issue, and the rules text.Buer's ability makes you immune to disease. Mummy rot is a magical disease, but is still a disease. You are immune to it.Flavor text shouldn't factor in to this. The mechanics are "immunity to poison and disease".If you want to go with the flavor text, consider this. The vestige Otiax says that binding with him allows you "to walk among the clouds", yet there are no vestige powers that grant you air walk or anything close to that (on a side note, I think there should be, that vestige is damn weak for a 5th level one!).When in doubt, go with the rules and not the flavor text.</blockquote>
