Gotcha. Sorry for misinterpreting.

An interesting, lesser known effect of the D9 bless is that Death Weapons cause disease directly. The weapon "bless death" (wpn #448) calls its own secondary effect "Disease" (wpn #143), which doesn't seem to check MR and gives the target the Diseased affliction...in addition to the +350% chance of other afflictions.

Of course the targets are only affected by disease if they fail the original MR roll, so it's not as devastating as it sounds. But it'll make your opponent think twice about sending his elephants against your lowly flaggies.
