passive regeneration

[House of Rahl]

outside of kameberry pie, is there any way to get passive regen? spells, items, equipment, w/e. prefer non-consumables so its more passive. even fast heal-1 would be great.

really just wanta give my main tank like a ring of regeneration if that exist in this game. tried looking it up, and only found references to the pen n paper ring of regen.

basically just looking for a way to slightly relieve the burden and requirement for clerics to perform all the healing in or out of combat. previously i used tristian as a heal bot and still felt the need to hire a custom npc cleric to provide more heals. with just tristian i was burning through my spell slots healing long before i could use my offensive slots on the arcane casters. any ideas would be appreciated.

As an inquisitor Jaethal start with the ability to regen 1 health point each round for one battle each day.

Convert potions into melee touch spells by clicking on the arrow by the icon.

Tristian is a bad cleric since he has low strength when cleric focus on melee touch spells.

Use touch of chaos from Harrim on all opponents. Put enemies on hold with stunning barrier, if you block the attack the barrier will still stun the target but if you dodge the attack it will be considered a miss. Use color spray early on. Grease maybe a favorite but the spell is reflex saved which is a common stat and it harms as much it helps by covering the floor with grease. Mobility is key and grease helps when you have all the tools available to select targets with meta magic. Instead use entangle from druid school, it has bigger area and it doesn't prone your own characters.

Tristian's starter class is broken since he's supposed to have his domain spells in his spell book.

didnt realize entangle was enemy only, and thus party friendly. good to know. i think my sorc main has both grease and web for slowing down charges through choke points. i then throw in aoe spells to soften them up before they get through and engage with the melee party members.

not sure what you mean by tristian is broken. with his domain spells. btw wouldnt tristian make a better healer than harrim regardless because he has the healing domain that empowers all healing spells he cast?

Ecclesitheurge's Domain Mastery is broken.
And while Tristian is better healer+ has +2 sacred bonus buff. Harrim is better caster and is more useful in combat.

in a perfect world id love to instead of healing, just use spells for summoning small armies. think d2 necromancer and youll know where id like to take this. instead i spend all my time and spell slots healing on 1 and sometimes 2 clerics. to have enough heals to cover the party and keep up with a single sorc offensive spell slots.

to do that i need some kinda way of healing without reliance on clerics. like say passing a ring of regen to valerie/amiri and using potions on the ranged chars who dont take much dmg. do rings of regen or any such item exist in this game?

What some posters are trying to tell you is that the root issue is that you are taking too much damage, You are trying to fix this by having a second cleric, but that just lowers your DPS and makes the issue worse.

Have a strong tank that has all gear and feats around taking damage, do not worry at all about doing damage. Mid-game AC will be 40-50 and with buff spells like blur/displacement and others from your sorc they will take surprisingly little damage.

Make sure you always have the tank go in solo to start the fight. Stupid AI homes in on and generally stays on that character. With the tank way out front to grab aggro you should be good and just have to watch for attacks from rear (I usually move the rest of the party close to the tank once battle is on).

Done efficiently many battles have single digit damage on my tank and once Extend Displacement is a thing sometimes no damage.

The domain powers part of Domain Mastery works fine. Of course, empowered healing only kicks in at L6. Anyway, Tristian's main problem is his horrible domain choices.

I'm not convinced Harrim is much better as a caster, particularly with the special abilities Tristian gets later. Not all that good with melee touch attacks, but that's not what you'd have him cast anyway. And Blessing of the Faithful is an underrated ability.

What sometimes burns me is having so many enemies that they physically all can't attack the tank had have to choose other targets. This is my real use case for Harrim.

That what summons are for as they are great distractions.
