Poison completely destroys your party in early game

[Hate Army]

I say early game because I've only been playing a few hours in the first adventure, but if you come across a jelly cube or those goblins that can poison you, you basically just have to heal through poison damage, because there's no good way to cure it...

EDIT: not to mention it reduces all stats by some unknown amount, meaning your roles with that character will fail more often...

You did realize you posted in the "ideas and suggestions" forum, right?
Cause there are no ideas or suggestions in your posts here, you just complain about game mechanics.
If you want to complain, there's the "general discussion" forum.

Also, there is a good way to cure it (and the only way besides): Panax.

Whoops, my bad, I guess I should have phrased it as a suggestion, like "Give more options to deal with poison" or "remove all stats down from poison".

Appreciate your responses to my 2 posts, maybe I was expecting the game to be a bit more lenient, but I do plan on grinding more lore to unlock more classes, items, encounters, etc, hopefully that will swing the odds in my favor, in terms of how to get stronger quicker and survive into later in the game.

poison wears off after some turns, so you just need to sit it out.
but a real good idea woud be if towns restock there herb stock and get more than 3 of each in a whole game session...
also a herb for curse curing/ disease curing woud be great, because THAT dont wear off and can be a real pain in the behind for running to the nearest town eachtime to get blessed/cured there.
herbalist tends to find only the noneheal/nonepoisoncure stuff btw if you hope for that... on 20 other herbs i seen maybe one healherb found....

Panax works on diseases, and there is an extra herb for curing curses .. called hag's bane.

yep forgot witchbane exists. because it comes so rare too :)
but what is panax? the healing herb godbeared? dont seen that heals disease when i used it.

Panax is panax. The red herb.
It cures poison, bleeding, burning, cold, wet and diseases. It doesn't heal hitpoints.
Godsbeard on the other hand only heals hitpoints and nothing else.
Just search for panax and ftk on the net and you'll get hits for the FtK wiki. Which isn't complete, as can be seen for panax, since it doesn't list all conditions it helps with. But at least it has an entry.
Relying on what a herbalist finds isn't the way to go - buying herbs in towns is. The herbalist's additions are nice, though.
