[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6402362, member: 1210"] No, poison (condition) immunity doesn't grant immunity to disease. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it negates many of the effects of a disease- I suspect that the poisoned condition will be a common result of many diseases. I've always thought that in a magical world like the ones D&D games happen on, it makes a lot of sense for there to actually be some diseases that specifically affect only creatures like undead, plant monsters, constructs, etc. Cerebral parasites are an early example of the type of thing that I mean; maybe a fungus that feeds on the negative energy that undead need to survive, or a ghost cough that affects only incorporeal monsters and wracks them with phantom coughs, negating their normal silence. Demon fever, golem lock, death leak, the crumbles- I can think of lots of cool "this won't hurt normal creatures" diseases, and I think it's a cool idea for some of the kind of weird stuff in D&D that Erol Otus liked to draw.
