Playing Skulls and Grapples... er I mean Skulls and Shackles and my Barbarian got hit by 2 different Ghouls in the same round and I failed 3 of the 4 Fort Saves ( 1 Save for some disease and another for the paralyzation)..
I actually rolled 3 ones in a row and made one save... didn't matter because I failed one of the paralyze saves so I was out for the rest of the combat... I somehow survived the combat (thanks to party) and now I have a dilemma since I"m only level 3 (Barbarian 2/ Oracle of Battle 1)
Spoke with the DM and he's not exactly sure if I should get double the Ghoul Disease or just one,ect... but since I rolled two 1s (3 technically) he might just add them together and every day I will have to make 2 saving throws (2 consecutively to combat the disease I believe for each infliction)..
Anyways we were wondering what the rules were exactly about this. Even if not RAW I think I'm gonna be screwed until I get lucky again with the DICE or somehow find a Pirate Paladin or 5th level Cleric that actually likes me(Cure Disease).
Every Combat I almost die... Is this how Barbarians live?

Pffft, lucky. I think I know what ghouls you're talking about, and I was just an oracle of battle 1 or 2 when we ran into them. Almost lost the whole party from the fight, and almost lost two characters to the disease.
But no, diseases don't stack. Poisons have rules for what happens when you encounter multiple doses, but diseases do not. You can't really get more sick than sick.
Even if he was interested in house-ruling it, the beginning of S&S is just about the worst place to do it. There isn't really any hope of "if we leave now, maybe we'll make it back to town before it gets really bad."
Hell, remove disease isn't guaranteed to remove the disease anymore, and the Heal skill is just a bonus. I can't see making it worse.
