D&D 5E Grave Cleric "Path to the Grave" vs Immunity

[ECMO3]

Grave Cleric ability Path to the Grave reads:

"Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.

As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends."


So the way I read this is it overides any other things the target has. So if I hit a Red Dragon with Firebolt or a Zombie with Poison Spray (2024) after being cursed he has Vulnerability to that damage despite being generally immune?

Correct?

That's how I read it.

Do the new 2024 rules not have the clarification from Xanathar's?

Resistance and Vulnerability: Here's the order that you apply modifiers to damage: (1) any relevant damage immunity, (2) any addition or subtraction to the damage, (3) one relevant damage resistance, and (4) one relevant damage vulnerability. Even if multiple sources give you resistance to a type of damage you're taking, you can apply resistance to it only once. The same is true of vulnerability.

Effectively, yes.

"Modifiers to damage are applied in the following order: adjustments such as bonuses, penalties, or multipliers are applied first; Resistance is applied second; and Vulnerability is applied third."

"Some creatures and objects have Immunity to certain damage types and conditions. Immunity to a damage type means you don’t take damage of that type, and Immunity to a condition means you aren’t affected by it."


Vulnerability doesn't cancel immunity. You would deal 0*2 damage. No spell will make a rock take double Psychic damage.
