Changelings (and presumably vampires) aren't immune to diseases - Noah Buttes - 06-12-2018
I don't know if this applies to pathology based diseases, but it certainly applies to old style diseases like kuru
Steps to reproduce:
1. Be a changeling
2. Ingest a sufficient dose of prions
3. Get infected with kuru
4. Suffer a fate worse than death as you keep losing limbs only to regrow them without ever quite dying.

not only is this a "feature", it's also a fuckin BIG mood.

It's not a feature though.
See:
https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation-2016/blob/goonstation-2016-byond510/code/datums/disease.dm#L355
Code:
if (ischangeling(src) || isvampire(src) || src.nodamage)
//Vampires and changelings are immune to disease, as are the godmoded.
//This is here rather than in the resistance check proc because otherwise certain things could bypass the
//hard immunity these folks are supposed to have
return nulland
https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation-2016/blob/goonstation-2016-byond510/code/mob/living/carbon/human.dm#L5757
Code:
if (ischangeling(src) || isvampire(src)) // Vampires were missing here. They're immune to old-style diseases too (Convair880).

No not feature, "feature".
and a big fuckin' mood too.
It should maybe be changed but not necessarily fixed imo, there's mad flavor in a DNA monster that rearranges its proteins at will getting a prion infection and having all its body parts start shitting the bed, maybe less devastatingly but dropping limbs constantly sounds like fun.

Okay, I really don't know what this means, could you explain?

"Haha i'm also falling apart"
But seriously though this sounds really cool and I've never seen it, is it in 2016 code ?

Kuru can inflict enough brute damage in one sitting to proc limb removal.
A changeling's speed regen is usually fast enough to keep you from dying. It also regenerates any limbs you may have lost.
This bug is not present in 2016 code, no.
