Will a necromancer with death shroud up get the plague if they drink water from a plagued fountain? |

Yes, it's possible. |

Then can we add a 'detect plague' thing to death shroud. It protects against 'natural transmission' (apparently drinking contimanated water doesn't count) so can we get it to where it gives a (plague) A fountain is here (plague) a random NPC is here. or something similar? |

Then you would have to add poison as well. I think shroud should stop all plague, but what do I know. |

Being that death shroud prevents the "natural transmission" (microbes entering through any part of the body) of the plague, it should protect the user from getting the plague unless it is actually cast on them since that is not the actual transmission and it is magical in nature. |

I believe the key word is 'natural' - so catching it from some molecule in the air (for the sake of the nature of plague's spread, we'll pretend it's airborne). A death shroud cannot stop you from drinking tainted water though. I believe an appropriate analogy would be Tolkien's elves, immune to dying naturally, but if you stick them with a sword, they still die. |

Hey newb, that is natural transmission. |

No, it isn't. You don't normally get the plague from swallowing clumpfulls of it. Just like you wouldn't naturally catch a cold by injecting yourself with a syringe full of a cold virus. It's artificial injection into the body - thus it isn't (obviously) covered by death shroud. Newb. |

Well after having lengthy discussions and doing some research on the topic it seems that if there is intent to place plague anywhere then it is completely unnatural (even if it's floating in the air). I'll just reverse my argument and vote for death shroud not protecting from the plague at all. Tip: Homosexuality occurs in nature too, something the druids should take into consideration
