[edit] Over 100% Resistance is not 100% Resistance?

My character is a vampire using Kiyoshi's vampirism mod, so I have an inherent 100% Disease Resistance. And for the duration I had 100% I never contracted a disease no big suprise. Recently, I acquired the ring of sunfire, which gives an extra 35% disease resistance bringing my total to 135%

However since I got the ring of sunfire I have actually contracted no less than 3 diseases - Swamp Rot, some random disease from a Zombie, and Porphyic Hemophilia no less (A vampire catching Porphyric hemophilia? lol!). Has anyone else experienced this? - it seems to be that over 100% resistance the calculations can get awry or something.

All incidents the disease was contracted through close combat, and saw it happen (as opposed to a scripted emchanism)

I don't know how Kiyoshi's mod works, but I'd suggest contacting them about it, as this behavior is almost certainly related to the mod. (Contracting Porphyric Hemophilia as a vampire should of course be impossible under normal circumstances.) We don't document 3rd-party mods on this site, so this isn't really the place for this sort of inquiry. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 00:58, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

I have two characters with at least 100% Resist Disease (A dark elf with 100% vampirism and a high elf wearing the Ring of Vitality) and both of them have caught diseases. My vampire caught porphyric hemophilia (I got a chuckle out of it as well) and my high elf caught Tunnel Cough from a Khajiit in Sundercliff Mines in the Mehrunes' Razor plugin. I'm playing on the 360 with only the official plugins (obviously), so it looks to me like this effect is broken.Xeagle51 19:10, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

It's already been reported that vampires can still catch diseases, even with the 100% built-in resistance. What I am seeing in common though for ALL the diseases, is that diseases which have the "Auto Calculate" check box selected seem to be able to bypass 100% resistance to disease. I've seen claims that characters with 100% resistance to disease have caught Porphyric hemophilia, Astral Vapors and now Tunnel Cough. All of those diseases seem to have the Auto-Calc option enabled. If this pattern is correct, the other diseases that could be caught regardless of 100% resistance are Scalon Fever, Scalon Blight, Scalon Sunburn and Elyra Hatchling Disease. (All from the SI expansion.--Saruuk 19:26, 17 September 2007 (EDT)
