Technically, unlike a paladin who by Divine Health gets immunity to mundane and supernatural diseases, an internal alchemist's disease immunity simply states "diseases". Mummy rot is a curse that imparts a supernatural disease.

Were I to judge it, I'd say you'd get the bonus but not the immunity.


If it just gives the blanket immunity "disease", supernatural disease would be a subset of disease. If you're immune to all disease, you're immune to supernatural disease.

The way the FAQ is worded supports this:

Quote:

Paladin: If I'm immune to disease, am I immune to mummy rot, which is both a curse and a disease?

Yes.
