Natural Healing

[Darknoble]

ok Im playing with no Clerics in my party that can use heal spells..And the Natural Heal Button is Checked..But the Party Does Not Heal... Explain please,,,
Thanks

Too little information, sorry.

The only thought crossing my mind is that you are not resting long enough. Or can it be you did not bring rations?

[Darknoble]

So I need to increase the time resting manually?

[Morgian]

Only to the point where the clock shows "fully rested". There is also a full rest button somewhere on the screen.

Ok I just found it at top of screen..It took me 35 days to heal my party without clerics LOL...well sh+t cant play this game using natual healing Game Over REstard...

[Morgian]

Of course not. You really need a healer or a character who does not need healing. Maybe you can use potions or the infamous wand of CLW, but I seriously doubt that.

yes, natural healing is a joke. basically you have the option of healing at rest through spells of clerics bards and inquisitors. or none at all. but the game deceivingly doesnt tell you "none at all" but says "natural healing". i guess it sounds more RP

Edit: on second thought, that is very RP. not very informative, but indeed if you wanted to heal your knife wound naturally, i guess it would take more than one night, wouldnt it? geez, i'm an idiot

[Morgian]

No, but natural healing is really slow. You recover your character level in HP on a full day of rest, so at level 2 that takes a while, if you have like 5 out of 22 HP - 9 days.

Maybe remove high HP companions not sure if this matters but it could help. At least i got rid of valerie.

[Morgian]

You have a point there. If a companion with high HP is down, the whole group has to wait for him.

i think it heals like 3 hp per rest, though healing spells during rest dont seem to do much better.

Or you could buy LOTS and LOTS of healing potions and scrolls if you have use magic device ability with one of your characters

[Balkoth]

You heal your level per rest. So if you're level 2 you heal 2 HP per day.

Buying potions or scrolls of cure light wounds and chugging them between fights is a way better move than resting for health.

In fact using potions is generally a better idea for healing overall.

thats a valid tactic later in game mb, but during act 1 you dont have such luxury. Also constantly traveling to post is kinda draining on time and only lead to more rests to remove exhaust.

Yeah, natural healing is incredibly slow - like it can be in real-life. Think about how long a broken arm (I don't mean a fracture, I mean a full-on break that you'd expect if someone hit you in it with a mace) takes to heal even when properly treated and set. The human body is not able to heal that sort of injury in anything short of a month, probably longer (not sure; never had a broken bone).

Magical healing is kind of a necessity in this game.

[Batailleuse]

You could argue that running without anyone having healing is a bad strategy anyway.

Goodluck clearing the game without either a druid or a cleric....

Basically like saying in an mmo ok boys let's go do a raid but we just pick 1 tank and dps.
