Rot Reform

[brendan]

Heal wounds and curing are now applied to rot damage first before restoring HP.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Let me be absolutely clear: It cures rot and that comes off your healing budget. If you're at 10 / 90 (100) and HW for 20, you'll end up at 20 / 100 instead of 30 / 90 (100). It might kill you.

so curing gives you 1 or 0 HP if you have rot?

[Greyr]

No, I understand it. I think this is good. Rot was mostly just tedious and now that it actually has some sort of impact in combat, well, that's great.

Thanks!

It was March 31st when I pushed it. It's real. Jesters aside, we don't do functional jokes on April 1st.

Sounds like a good change to me. I always hated trying to guess how much rot I had because I was at 80/135 (136) with yellow rot, and I would have liked to regen and heal it all with one curing potion, but I probably couldn't regen the 50 hp before losing more hp to the still active rot. The solution there is of course to quaff it anyways, but it always *felt* wrong to me.

I am unsure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, although I guess I rarely let rot get bad enough for it to be tactically relevant in this setup. It sounds like healing rot is now 1-to-1 with ordinary healing, which is considerably nicer than the previous situation, so that's something.
