Immunity Question

[DEFCON Clown]

If I have a character who gets a disease and then they get the power Immunity to Disease they are cured. But what if I have a character who gets a disease and then gets Immunuty to Disease but they only have that power for 5 minutes? Do they instantly have the disease back when the time runs out or do they stay cured?

Re: Immunity Question

 

If a character catches a disease, and only after catching the disease somehow acquires an Immunity to that disease, the Immunity does not cure him. Immunity is a preventative, not a curative. Once a character has a particular disease, Immunity to that disease doesn’t help him at all (though it would prevent the symptoms he already has from worsening). If for some reason the character acquired the Immunity on a temporary basis, the Immunity would only prevent his symptoms from worsening as long as it remained in effect. As soon as the Immunity vanishes, the disease continues to progress on its normal course.
