Ah, immunities...
If you have an immunity, you are unaffected by environmental factors and anything related to your immunity that doesn't require a saving throw.
Heat/Fire: You could walk across the sahara without ill effects. You could probably stand in a normal campfire, or put your hand on a hot element of a stove, pull pans from an oven without mits or sit in extremely hot water. Get hit with a fire blast or such, or fall into lava or blasted by super-heated gas, and you'll take damage like everyone else.
Cold: Same as fire, only colder.
Disease/Poison: You'll be immune to normal diseases, possibly even genetically engineered diseases, but any power that involves poison or disesase, like a paralytic poison sting, or draining disease power would still affect you.
Aging: You don't age normally. I haven't run across a power that ages, though one that temporarily ages you (like say, the Vulture's drain), would affect you.
Some are pretty easy to run, like aging, critical hits, pressure, starvation and suffocation. But basically, if it requires a saving throw, you can be affected by it. Having immunity to your own power doesn't even really help, since that's only if your power is turned on you. Two fire based people blasting each other take full effect even if you are immune to your own power. It does prevent you from harming yourself though, say if you drop an area affect attack at your feet.
If it worked as if you were actually immune to any the effect of anything under your immunities, I'd be creating a character with max rank in every immunity and max rank in protection, sensory protection and mental protection. And sleep in a nuclear reactor when its running, just because I could.

Immunities to anything that give you a damage save, the damage, instead of being lethal are stun, so you won't be killed by Nova, but you can be made unconcious, for example. If it is another save than Damage, no effect. That's what the book tell. Now, if Calinon say otherwise, he is the migthy God of EPIC world and his world are laws

Actually... I'll just say X12 has no recollection of sexual matters, and hence doesn't know what he's missing; all these little girls making eyes at him and comments about bunnies comes across as alien concepts to him...
"What?! I don't quite understand... I've... never... been kissed..."

Scent is why you weren't suprised and generally know where she is now. It won't help you whatsoever now, as you don't have Blindsight (or blindfight!). Even if you spot her again, she'll move and you'll have to spend another half action to spot her next round.
Sometimes, it sucks being unlucky enough to get lured into a pitch dark room with a girl with electrical powers that wants to beat you up, while you have a scary flashback about electrical torture while fatigued from a soccer game which totally throws your perception off. It really sucks when the GM doesn't consider that your 'unluck' for the issue. MAAAA HAHAHAHA! Oh, I'm evil. Yes I is. I'm also kidding, but it was fun to pretend I would be THAT evil.
