[edit] creatures of the same kind

since when has Vekk, Zhed Shadowhoof or Ogden Stonehealer been a human? if its creatures of the same kind Vekk, ogden and zhed should not be able to get or pass this disease to/from other party memebers. -TehBuG-

also, im pretty sure pyre isnt human ither... -TehBuG-

Apparently players are considered humanoid in kind, rather than just human. --Ari  (talk) 19:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Skill -> effect -> skill -> effect

Why is this always being changed from a skill infobox to an effect infobox? The other conditions (bleed, daze, poison etc) have skill infoboxes, whereas this one has an effect infobox. Which is the correct one? -- br12 • (talk) • 16:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know which one is correct tbh, but I was trying to get List of conditions to display Bleeding, Blind, Poison, and Disease. The only difference that I could see between the pages that were listed and those that weren't was the skill infobox vs. the effect infobox (the skill infobox ones being displayed). At its current state it looks like now only Disease is missing, because grinch changed it back to an effect infobox. -- Mafaraxas 20:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transfer between heroes?

In Nightfall, whenever my (all-human) party is diseased, if I flag the henchmen away from me, they won't transfer disease between each other, but they transfer it to me and I transfer it to them. Anybody got any data on this? Logan428 19:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question on duration

When Disease is passed onto me, do I get the full duration of the condition? Like, if someone's dealt a 13-second Disease, then after 5 seconds rubs elbows with me and passes on the condition, do I get diseased for 13 seconds as well, or just 8? → BROWNSPANK 14:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I was also looking for an answer on this question but I think you get the whole duration (13 seconds) because if you just get the 8 seconds, the whole disease would end on the whole party after the 13 seconds. The disease effect doesnt end after just this 13 seconds. Your whole party can be aflicted easily for a longer time. What maybe is an option is that if disease is spread its duration is -10% from the full duration (for every time it is spread, so 90% duration on first spread, (90 - 10% =) 81% on second spread and so on. *I haven´t tested this yet, this is just an hypothesis.217.121.213.138 19:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
