Well, you start by finding a brand of prophylactic you trust..... And remember to stay away from the Yaun-Ti *****s, no matter how hawt you find scales.

Play a dwarf, paladin or a high fort class.

Grab the magic item.

Be nice to the cleric or paladin.

Eat healthy, get plenty of exercise. And wear a shawl or woolen sweater in every month that has an R in it.

Running away from mummies is a good idea. Make best friends with the party Cleric because (s)he'll be taking care of you if you catch one. Have a good Fort save if possible. Save up and have someone craft you a Periapt of Health (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#periaptofHealth). Those are the steps I take and have thusfar been pretty much disease free.

You were talking about D&D, right? If not, I find abstinence and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables to be the best way. :D

one of the best ways i know is take a level in cleric and have one of your domains be pestalence from the complete divine.

it will make you immune to the effects of all diseases but you can still carry them so be careful but if your playing evil this can be a good thing. the core diety is nerull but if tou play a godless cleric you could claim that you took it so you could learn more about diseases and how to cure them.

this is a pretty limiting means though and should only be taken if you expect disease galor or you have a crazy DM.

i would suggest just getting the clric or some magical item to cast cure disease on you once a day and you should be good for just about any disease except the really nasty ones. :D :D :D

Have you character drink about 250 mg of KCN. I guarantee that he'll never get sick again.
