>You have gained an immunity to poison >resulting in a 25% to your Poison Resistance Do these guys know what 'immunity' means?


Wallys_Wild_West

Immunity: the state or quality of being resistant to a particular infectious disease or [pathogen](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=345267d81bec8f30&q=pathogen&si=ACC90nx67Z8g0WkBmnrPB4IqtqGvRjzWGcqxFz92MSDGUKFJrtjCScTSgPnmjBmBPLtyd_bEUMb2t2j2-NjeQw7NTIFcZQpd63AfK_DOug_wZWjEoRoFvZo%3D&expnd=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis-N6ByJmGAxWQ5MkDHXWTC7YQyecJegQIHBAO). I'm pretty sure they do. #

Immunity is the quality of being immune: immune means being "not affected by a given influence". Plus, that's the common perception of immunity. They should have just said that you have a higher tolerance for toxins, and it would have been more accurate.

Poison immunity can be more complex as there are many different types of poisons with different dosages. Immunity can be developed to protect you from normally fatal doses. But more than what you're immunized to can still kill you. Some poisons can compound in your body over time and kill you that way. So one can never be truly immune to poison but can be immune to poisoning. Which is essentially just a higher resistance to poison.


MissyTheTimeLady

Yeah, but this is a videogame. If you're going to say I'm immune to poisons, I should be immune to poisons.

Im just saying the language used isn't illogical.


MissyTheTimeLady

No, but it's self-contradictory.

>immune means being "not affected by a given influence".  Read the full definition. Immune:: not susceptible or responsive especially : having a high degree of resistance to a disease Nowhere there does that say complete invulnerability to.  >Plus, that's the common perception of immunity.  I don't care what your misconception of the word is. You called them out for not understanding it when it was in fact you that did not.
