Interesting situation

[Veriden]

As of tuesday I have noticed that my diamond body is not stopping poisons and that my purity of body is not stopping diseases.

So now I sit in the market place with mummy rot as a lvl 17, a physical and technical impossibility. Such resistances are one of the major factors are reasons I decided to do monk rather than a paladin. I was told to more or less go eff myself for reporting the bug by turbine auto message. I was wondering if any one else was having such problems.

funny things happen when you post on the forums, as if they were to see how far they could push me. O.o just after I hit send my immunities kicked in. Still an irritating situation, nothing major.

Same thing happens to warforged from time to time. Usually a re-log will fix it.

Well concidering mummy rot is a curse....You need a remove disease (which you are immune, sou YOU don't need this step) and a remove curse to get rid of mummy rot. Drink a remove curse pot and you'll be fine.
Poison immunity has no effect on this.

[Rumbaar]

Yeah it has two phases or areas of effect.

I think we're actually talking about "Purity of Body", which is the monk disease immunity granted at level 5. Disease immunity does (or at least should) indeed stop mummy rot.

And this is a known problem with some of the various immunity/always on abilities. Re-logging should fix it in most cases. Although it is a nasty surprise when that worg starts chain-tripping your thief-acrobat.

Mummy Rot is a curse. Purity will not save you from it. Working as intended.

Nope, they timed out due to the resting nature of the area you are now in. You'll also note you were regaining stat damage, sp (if you have any, as well as HP.

Mummy rot is a MAGICAL disease. As such, under PnP, Monks are not immune. This is why you see more Pal18/Monk2 than the other way around.

Also, unless you have some way to remove curse, that portion of Mummy Rot will remain. I have gotten Mummy Rot a time or six in DDO and the icon remains until BOTH remove disease and remove curse have been cast.

Further, I think that you must first remove disease and then remove curse (as opposed to the other way around or simultaneously casting both).

Dangit, was going to quote back w/ the paladin immunity, but that does include magical. Fooey. :P
EDIT:
Although the argument could be made that the in-game description for Purity simply states "all diseases", so should cover this.
For: Quoting PnP rules is commonly accepted as only slightly applicable to DDO (if not outright declared a fallacy)
Against: DDO has a tradition of poorly worded/misleading/all-but-completely-false descriptions on thing slike this.

As was stated, Mummy Rot is a curse. So it still would not apply.

Mummy Rot (Su)

Supernatural disease—slam, Fortitude DC 16, incubation period 1 minute; damage 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Unlike normal diseases, mummy rot continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or is cured as described below.

Mummy rot is a powerful curse, not a natural disease. A character attempting to cast any conjuration (healing) spell on a creature afflicted with mummy rot must succeed on a DC 20 caster level check, or the spell has no effect on the afflicted character.

To eliminate mummy rot, the curse must first be broken with break enchantment or remove curse (requiring a DC 20 caster level check for either spell), after which a caster level check is no longer necessary to cast healing spells on the victim, and the mummy rot can be magically cured as any normal disease.

An afflicted creature who dies of mummy rot shrivels away into sand and dust that blow away into nothing at the first wind.

Talking about the hypothetical stances Turbine is taking through their actions goes against the first rule of talking about the hypothetical stances Turbine is taking through their actions.

As stated its a curse.
Drink a curse pot. Move on.

[Quijonsith]

mummy rot is a curse that causes a disease. monks are immune to the disease portion of it, but not the curse portion. For non immune classes/races they have to have curse removed first, then disease removed to fully get rid of mummy rot. for monks in DDO, we just need remove curse.

Monks are immune to the disease portion of mummy rot but not the curse so they are affected but only need the remove curse to take care of it

[Veriden]

By then I had done such, drank a pot of remove curse it did nothing for the mummy rot, and fyi in ddo monks are immune to mummy rot. It was only those two days that I was getting any form of diseases, which was a log-in-log-out fix when I logged in 10 seconds later the disease was gone. The only thing Monks get at sands with mummies is the mummy's curse which halves healing spells

/QFT Veriden.

And yes; Monks are normally immune to mummy rot in DDO peeps. Just like paladins, WFed, and anyone else wearing a diesease immunity item. We can still get mummy's curse though.

I have experienced the same effect on my new monk in the last week several times.

It's not just our disease immunity either. It's our poison immunity as well. When you see my 14th level monk running around with the poison icon over her head; There's a problem with our immunities.

[Ode1st]

I switch to a disease immunity belt on my non-monk characters whenever a mummy is around and that blocks Mummy Rot entirely. It doesn't, however, block the Mummy's Curse thing (can't remember the name, but it's the one that makes heals less effective on you).

But, if a monk is disease immune, it should work just like the belt works for the rot, which is, the monk shouldn't get rotted at all.

[Taimasan]

I have never gotten mummy rot as a monk, only the curse..must be alot of bugged monks out there.
