Scroll or Potion to Heal a Dhampir

[peacefighter]

My hero is a Dhampir and I need healing scrolls or potion (Potion/Scroll of Inflict Light/Moderate Wound) for him. I used up all these scrolls and potions, and I am desperately need to find a vendor who sells these items. Sure, I can rest, but I'll be doing so, every time he is low on health. Is there other types of scrolls/potions that I can use instead?

Could invest in the Brew Potions feat (on a character with high Knowledge (World), like Nenio or Daeran) and have them craft regularly. You'll also want to make sure your healers memorize Inflict Wounds/take it at level up -- instead of using those slots to heal your other party members, have your non-undead characters use regular potions, or heal via Lay On Hands/Channel Positive Energy while you build up a buffer on your negative energy potions. You could also grab the Blood Drinker feat and keep on the lookout for scrolls of False Life/Aid/other sources of temporary hit points, and hold them in reserve for your main.

well, most mob attack you with negative energy they heal unintentionally based on my play through :)

get inflict wound on your mages

Vampiric touch. I kid, I kid, but it obviously fits, of course.

Camellia should have Inflict Light Wounds, memorize a few. The bartender should also have some potions available. Sosiel and Daeran should also be able to heal you, I don't think Ember gets the inflict spells.

For my Dhampir, I turned Seelah into a Bard and gave her the Hat of Heartening Song, which heals whenever she sings, that covered most of my healing for me. Later on, since I went Trickster, I had the UMD trick that let me use a wand of inflict wounds without draining any charges. I was also playing on unfair, so most battles had a one hit kills you quality to them that cut down on the amount of healing I needed.

Thank you all for your inputs and suggestions. Currently, I don't have any Inflict Wound spell, so I can't memorize any--I need just one. It's a great idea for my Dhampir to get attack by negative energy villain but what are their names/characters so I can look out for them, although this is really a short term solution. I'll keep an eye out for False Life scrolls and I will check out the next time I am in town and the Blood Drinker feat in the next XP level up. I just got Daeran to join even I don't like this character attitude, and I have not yet tried him out in the battlefield.

Again thank you all for your advice and for the many ways I can try out.

You should have Camellia, she's there as your early-game do-everything character. If you don't like Daeran, you can always sub her in as your Inflict Wounds healbot, now that you've got Ember or Nenio for casters.

Early in the game Camellia was the one who administers the Inflict Wounds scrolls. Sadly, at that time I did not realize that a character is able to learn a spell (into her spellbook). Now that I do know, I am out of Inflict Wounds scrolls. As stated earlier, all I need is just one Inflict Wounds in order to learn it. Thanks again for your reply.

Camellia’s a prepared Divine Caster, and thus automatically know every spell on their list, which for her includes all the inflict spells. Darren and Ember can learn inflict spells whenever they level up, if they don’t know any already. Later in the game you’ll have access to a cleric too, who can also memorize inflicts.

Thank you //Stink Bug//!!! It's exactly what I needed, but I did not know it was there (to incorporate into my her spellbook). Again thanks!

[Du-Vu]

Just a little added clarification -- only prepared arcane casters need to learn new spells, but wizards and arcanists can't learn cure/inflict spells, among other things (except for the archetypes which can). It's a lot to take in.

There's some crossover with hybrid classes like witch, shaman, bard, etc, though, which can make a character like Camellia confusing. As a shaman she gets some mage spells, but also some priest/druid spells, and she can't write new spells into her spellbook.

The weird thing, because while I know D & D, the Pathfinder iteration is a bit unfamiliar to me at least from PnP days ... witch is an arcane caster.

That means if you give Ember light armor, she can wear it, but can have arcane spell failure, since she's an arcane caster. The odd thing about Ember is having stig witch as her archetype, she's totally unusual. All other witches rely on INT not CHA and have to memorize their spells the Vancian way like other mages, not spontaneous. They would have to learn from scrolls rather than the Ember way. Like other mages. Oh, and as I found poking around on the Wiki, they get patrons that give them extra spells and abilities.

Relating to what was just said, I did not get this at first, that she was an arcane caster, because she has all kind of divine/cure spells. Same is true of oracles, which until I played this CRPG, were "new to me" as well.

Now there it's again kinda funny. Oracles/Daeran get some arcane spells, but don't have to worry about arcane spell failure from armor; as far as that goes they are considered divine.

[Du-Vu]

Ember is basically a witch crossed with an oracle, yeah. Stigmatized Witch is unique to this game, created by Owlcat. Ember herself is reasonably simple, but it's confusing for people who then decide to create their own witch and choose a different archetype. Similar thing with Regongar in Kingmaker.

There are a few things that could be clearer, really. I don't know Pathfinder that well either, I've just pieced it together over the past few months. What stat each class needs for casting, for instance. I thought at first that the Arcanist got to choose between Charisma or Intelligence, as seemed to be the case in PF 2nd Edition? Turns out no, you need Int for regular casting, but Cha for your Exploits. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I still don't know where it said that, since I read it out of game. There must be tooltips, but I don't know if I just missed them or if they got buried under a different tutorial that popped up. I can only imagine what it's like for people who've spent even less time with Pathfinder than I have.

//Du-Vu// and //seeker1//, thank you both for the lessons in witchery. This game is much more complex than I initially thought to be. My game progression is still at an early stage; I hope I can complete the game--there is so much to learn.

[Du-Vu]

Don't worry, it's not as much as it sounds like :) Don't feel like you need to know every spell or feat by heart on your first playthrough. That's the kind of thing you pick up through multiple runs and playing other games in the same genre.
