Getting Diseased when makiing the save?

Ok, as I'm resting at inns or elsewhere when I get diseased, I check my rolls and it says <char> attempts a Fortitude check -- Success! I then check out the numbers and it gives the breakdown vs the DC (it's been 12 when I check it) and I always do make the save. :thumbsup: Then it tells me I'm diseased.:no: Am I missing something or is it a bug? BTW I'm running CO8 modpack 8 fully patched.

 

Once you are diseased you have to succeed at your saving throw twice, if you succeed the first one it just means you don't take any stat damage.

First save = succeed, (no stat loss).
Second save = succeed, (no longer diseased).

 

Sorry, after reading your response I re-read my post and I was not clear.

While resting at an inn or other place, while I have no disease, I contract the disease at the inn. (Rest for 8 hours, <char> gets disease. It is this action which I don't understand.

 

Ahh, your character was probably bitten by a rat, stirge, or some other disease carrying creature in an earlier battle and it took a number of hours for the disease to incubate.

Here's what the SRD says about diseases;

When a character is injured by a contaminated attack touches an item smeared with diseased matter, or consumes disease-tainted food or drink, he must make an immediate Fortitude saving throw. If he succeeds, the disease has no effect—his immune system fought off the infection. If he fails, he takes damage after an incubation period. Once per day afterward, he must make a successful Fortitude saving throw to avoid repeated damage. Two successful saving throws in a row indicate that he has fought off the disease and recovers, taking no more damage.

TOEE handles this a little differently, with the actual diseased tab showing up after the incubation period and not right after the attack.

This is common in the game and I usually have a remove disease spell ready at all times with my cleric as soon as she can cast it.

 

IIRC, your diseased guy can also transfer the disease to other party member specifically after a long periods of rest

The writing was pretty specific about how it happens though...

 

Continued rest will usually cause the disease to go away on its own as well...

 

Avoid the whores in Nulb, better off bedding an Otyugh.
