Diseases

Diseases are negative effects that compromise certain aspects of the character's well-being.

Cure
Diseases can be cured by a Priest, by drinking an Elixir of Cure Ailment, or casting the Cure Ailment spell. While priests can immediately cure all diseases, if the Elixir is of a lower tier, or the Cure Ailment spell is cast at a lower level, they may not be able to cure more serious diseases. Less common means of disease removal include the Sparkling Divinity potion (Book II).

Resistance
The character's Disease Resistance represents the chance that they will avoid contracting a disease when exposed to a disease source. This resistance is augmented by the character's Wisdom and Endurance attributes, as well as the Medicine skill. It can also be temporarily boosted by equipping pieces of armor with the "Immune" modification in Book II and Book III.
