Resist Disease M% for D seconds

Decreases by M% your chance of contracting a disease. Note that only the player character can contract diseases. There are many infectious creatures in the game, and some of them may carry and spread up to 3 different kinds of disease.

It is possible, although unnecessary, to have a higher than 100% resistance to disease. This may be achieved through potions and enchanted items.

• The Ring of Vitality provides 100% Resist Disease.

Notes

• This effect is not normally available as a spell. However, you can gain access to it either through special racial abilities or by becoming a vampire, in which case you can create custom spells and enchantments. Argonians, High Elves, Redguards, and Wood Elves have 75% Resist Disease.
• The Spell Tomes official download adds a spell with this effect called Disease Resistance.
• Even with 100% or higher Resist Disease, you can contract Porphyric Hemophilia. This was introduced in the 1.1.511 patch, likely so Vicente Valtieri successfully infects you during the quest Darkness Eternal.

Bugs

• Characters with 100% or higher Resist Disease and 100% or higher Resist Magic (eliminating the possibility that a Weakness to Disease effect could be applied) can still contract Astral Vapors.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 2.2.0, fixes this bug.
