Immune to diseases listed under special abilities?


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

If a creature has a disease as part of one of its attacks are they immune to that disease? Ie. are they effectively just a carrier?

Example: A wererat's bite attack carries Filth Fever. He is hit by an Otyugh and contracts Filth Fever. Is he immune to the ability score damage from the Otyugh's Filth Fever?

I would assume the answer is yes, but I can't find a reference.


Unless there is an entry or explanation in the write up or as part of the type/subtype of the creature, the ability to inflict an disease does not grant that creature immunity to it.
