Ideally there would be a new buff tables for communicable diseases to avoid them overwriting buffs and greifing.
Obviously, that would be a code haus, and require alot of recoding.
My suggestion would be to use bard song slots for communicable diseases (not disease based dots cast on you by npcs with the purpose of damaging you)
Obviously, it would prevent POT4, and what not from landing, however it would be curable, and the ability to grief people excessively (destroying SB or perma illusions) but it would also be crippling to a guild on a raid, and would demand curing, while also providing stat debuffs.
My other suggestion, that ties in slightly with this one, is rooted in iaeloan's idea of newports sewars being disease ridden.
I would really like to see less damaging, but still communicable diseases showing up in here. Like maybe wetlung, or a new line of Fever, or pneumonia. Maybe the sewar rats and various other spawns in the sewars could spawn infected?
I love the RP implications of Diseases, i just think that the overwrititng of sb / perma buffs is unrealistc, and excessive, which makes room for some horrible grieifing.
