Disease Immunity VS Infestation of Maggots
Posted: Sun May 08, 2016 10:56 am
So, I had the unfortunate pleasure of being the recipient of a Fallen Druids Infestation of maggots today (this morning particularly), was running through temple of the dead on Zora (druid monk cot) with an uthgardt belt equipped (death magic imm, disease imm, fort +5) and somehow still received the -'s to con, which I subsequently followed straight to 3 con (not exactly healthy, you understand), then which I sat and bled to death. I know that Druids at level 9 gain immunity to poisons, so I went to read up on the spell, the descriptor in it (according to IG) says that it is in fact a disease style spell, and that as soon as the victim rolls a successful fortitude save, the spells effects are negated.
Now I could be largely deserving of a severe bad luck streak here and rolled nothing but 1's on my saves (seeing as my fort was knocking at 50's door), and had in fact gotten down to 3 con, but I'd imagine that the belt should've negated the spell entirely, if I'm not mistaken?
Any clarification here would be greatly appreciated.
