Disease

[Endoperez]

Edi's database gives details on spesific weapons. Special effects like Disease or various poisons are handled as poisons, and Edi's database will tell you if a spesific weapon is negated by magic resistance. In a quick search, it seems like only disease caused by Axe of Hate and Plague Scythe can be negated by magic resistance. Other weapons' secondary effect Disease isn't negated by magic resistance, but some of those weapons can be negated by magic resistance. Plague Breath can be resisted, as an example, and if it is resisted you won't suffer the secondary effect either. I don't know what unit has Plague Breath weapon, BTW.

I didn't know a plague carrier wouldn't disease everyone around him. I thought it would be automatic.


I also didn't know that every time a Death 9 bless deals damage, it automatically causes disease. I found that out while going through Edi's DB.

It appears that plague carrier effect is MR resistible, since I detected that it easily affects troops and not so easily thugs with better MR.

I also discovered that with weapons that have a disease effect which is not resistible, you still have to inflict some damage before the disease takes effect. So, high protection helps as well, it's not like poison in that regard. But maybe this is not news for others.
