what kind?

[MEDIC]

might be unrelated but i picked up a doctor chick and a little while later cured one of my guys of alcoholism? so now he is never drunk in battle.

Get a doctor to hang out with them. It'll go away eventually.

my experience- not to debate theirs-
anyone with a "status effect removal" ability or item knocks that right out---
but do it asap- even if you have to "fake ambush" to trigger a use...

yeah, don't overthink fixing an STD with a bandage, ok?
Capone wishes it had been that easy.

I left my group in a brothel a bit too long while looking at the map, doing some building upgrades, etc. I didn't know the STD's could happen. So...lol, they all picked one up at the same time, including boss.

So, the doc is able to heal them. All of my characters were healed permanently (by doc using the Heal ability in combat). Doc is also able to heal folks out of combat...but only if they have HP damage. If a character has an STD but otherwise has full HP, the Heal option doesn't appear for the doctor.

ONE character, however, I also experimented to see if a heal kit would do the trick....yes and no. Used a doctor bag, and it did heal the STD...temporarily. Ever since then, this particular gangster has had recurring relapses, even when trying to cure with the Doctor's Heal. And the relapses are pretty frequent.

Based on that experience, it seems to me that a Doctor ability will cure an STD permenantly IF that's the first cure used, while a character's kit will only heal it temporarily, with permanently recurring relapses....even if a Doc tries to use Heal on it later.

--------------

Lesson learned...when taking over a brothel, FIRST priority is to get the team OUT of that building before doing anything else! lol

Btw...are there equivalent debuffs that can occur with the other buildings? Alcoholism from speakeasies or gambling addiction from casinos?

- hey- #1 ? definitely yes to the achoholism= be thou aware of whom is in speakeasies.. sometimes a boon,...
irony- several of my characters fight better drunk and my doctors keep wrrying about them
HUN: in their line of work, it aint liver failue gonna kill him- did you NOT see that tommygun?
i know you have magic HP restoration like an mmo but..bullets kill people, yo...

Anywa- in my experience- depends on the character, nevermind the "doctors"
( ps- FIELD MEDIC IS NOT A DOCTOR< YOU DIKKS - ive seen a medic save lives no ? few? doctors coulda- all hail Nurses, ain't no LIE - triage nurses are the SHIZNIT true. damn. story. give 'em the respect they earned. No jokes. Lives of brothers, owed. Not putting down doctors, no- just different skills et and experience, all i'm saying. If you can't full-respect 66-Heathers; you AINT been shot at, all I'm saying.... Nothing like watching your best friend bleedin; coughin his sucking chest wound ♥♥♥♥ on you; to make you respect someone, feel me? 'Cos in real life- med kits *get* you to triage- if you lucky- they ain't magic "restore health potions"... after that, you better hope the "heathers' got enough left in 'e to help YOUR brother.. if a gmes' combat isn't THIS - wondering whh friend you LOSE toady- the it's NOT combat ...risk vs reward , baby- y'all buried a best firend yet/ put his rifle in his boots? helmet on top? done it yet?
... maybe not same fashion, but baby- death is comin' for us ALL- you'll know too.." some day you will ache like i ache" - thanks courtney- truer words never spoken. Combat is RISK... and loss)

an' - any "heathers" seen this - thank you - again - and thank you again for all the time; for the lives saved... nothing i can say or do is good enough... my token?... just flat-out effin R-E-S-P-E-C-T. We did our part, you SURE as hell did YOURS <o
YOU ARE OUR ANGELS; VALKYRIES> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

- cough- wait what?
enough REAL talk- back to games...

Anyhow---
yeah, doctors aside-
.... ceratin characters will get drunk or alcoholic-

me, i "caught" my STDguys quick enough that - no lasting efefects-
i missed all that ( sorry, man) - which i suspect is why my attempt to help was.. out of context.

on the otherhand, as you said, lesson learned- and interesting-

"bandage" jokes aside; for all the flak this game is getting even from it's fans- i keep seeing surprisng depth and interconnecting systems...
I hate to say "early access / new game" excuse- but that's.. rather how it is now, right? ( another thread)...

but- on the plus of that- i see laot of deth- waiting, waiting to surface.

share with me a "fingers crossed" ?

ps- TY for pointing that out- i *always * have a medic in-squad so i never saw that result- jokes aside- this was good info. TY

Alcoholics are awful together. I've seen a case where a doc cured them and I've seen cases where high morale cured them.

But, if two or more have the alcoholic trait active, don't put them together on a team.

[Cap'n Saccade]

WRT: Alcoholic, if one or more doctors and/or the alcholic's friend in the gang becomes worried about their drinking, pretty soon after the alcoholic will sober up - esp if the friend is a lover.

WRT: STD's, go into ambush - "remedy" is unavailable pre-combat, but you can use "heal" on the inflicted gangsters even if they aren't missing XP and it will cure them :)

But make sure to do all infected ppl at the same time, else they might spread it among themselves again - it seems to happen straight away with lovers in the crew. Cure one and they get it back straight away off their lover... Do all - wear a mask, be safe, stay home, save lives.

// hanging out in casinos - unless the char has racket reduce or casino boost traits, nothing happens.
// hanging out in speakeasies - mellows characters, makes them happy/drunk (good for bar brawlers before calling them for a fight), can make characters tolerant, etc... or alcoholic.
// hanging out in breweries - other than bottoms up boost from being there when its opened, unless a char has racket reduce or brewery boost traits, nothing happens.

// hanging out in other gang's places - the same. (eg, you can leave your guys to get drunk in a bar before ambushing it and taking it over, turning it into a brothel to get an STD so you can cure it with a doc in combat after purposefully getting the character shot by a thug).
