Can draconians be affected by mummy rot? I know they are immune to all diseases, but under the mummy rot section for a Mummy, it says that its not a natural disease, but a powerful curse. A paladin's Divine Health specifically says that it protects from Mummy rot and "magical diseases". Was just wondering people's thoughts.

I would say that the mummy rot would effect the draconian. As you stated "mummy rot is not a natural disease but a curse".

In the end its your or your DMs call. However, I think its justified that it would effect them.

I say they cannot be affected. The first words in the description of Mummy Rot says Supernatural disease. As such I´d rule that indeed dracos cannot be affected by Mummy Rot. I am aware of it being mentioned as a "powerful curse", but as I read it, that phrase is used to underline the seriousness of Mummy Rot - not an actual game mechanic...
