You can also add a lucky item to limit chances of additional afflictions until The Chalice or Gift of Health can be used for a cure.

Whuh? Is this official? I thought luck only reduced the chance of afflictions by reducing the chance of taking damage(by 50%). I've read nothing about it working on disease.

According to what was written in an older thread (e.g. Post#353573), Luck does not help, while a Ring of Regeneration does.

Yes, regeneration stops hit point loss, which is one effect of disease, but I believe additional afflictions are random events.

Are you saying that only certain random events are influenced by luck?

I have tested this, but not exhaustively. I gave two diseased units a Ring of Regneration each to stop hit point loss. For one of them I added a Lucky Coin. The unit without the coin started piling up additional afflictions, whicle the one carrying it only received 1 additional affliction many turns later.
