Bebilith rot


Rules Questions

Can you have multiple instances of Bebilith rot on you at one go?

rot:

A bebilith’s bite causes a horrible withering and weakening of the flesh, resulting in a hideous melting and foul rotting effect. This catastrophic withering begins on the round the creature is bitten and continues for another 4 rounds thereafter, for 5 rounds of withering in all. Each round the rot persists, the target must succeed on a DC XX Fortitude save or take 2 points of Constitution damage. If the target makes two consecutive saving throws in a row, the effect is cured. Heal can also halt the rot effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

I.e, Round 1:

You are bitten by a Bebilith and failed the fort save and got the rot.

Round 2:

You got full attacked by a Bebilith and failed the fort save for the round one rot, and failed the fort save for round 2 rot.

If you get more rot in round 2, you take the extra 2 con dmg, right?

Round 3:
Before the Bebilith attacks you again, do you...
A)Make two fort saves for round 1 and round 2 rot?
B)Just make 1 fort save for rot?


I'd treat it like a poison or disease - +2 to the save DC, +2 rounds of duration every time you get nailed again and fail the save.

Edit: And you have a single save to make every round to stave off the damage, no matter how many times you got bit.

Though if you've been bitten repeatedly by the same bebilith, you may have made poor life choices.

It isn't however a poison/disease. It sort of, imo looks more like a shadows str dmg.
