Regeneration in dragon form

Does dragon form provide regeneration? If so, how much? There are different pieces of information:

CrawlWiki wrote:Dragon Form is a level 7 Transmutations spell [...]
Pros: [...] Regeneration
wiki/Dragon_form

On the other hand, wiki/regeneration rate doesn't tell anything, neither do learnDB#regeneration or learnDB#dragon_form.

While I have dForm active it seems that there is some regeneration. Which piece of information is right?

Re: Regeneration in dragon form

As far as I know, dragon form does not give any bonus regeneration as a separate effect. However, regeneration is always based off of your current hp pool, and dragon form gives +50% hp, so your regeneration scales up with it.

As far as I know this page is still accurate despite being flagged as .15: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Regeneration_rate

If anyone spots anything that has changed on that page, let me know, and I'll update it and then bump the version number.

Edit: so far, removed a reference to chei long turns being capped at 10 auts, which they aren't anymore, and removed a line about trolls not benefiting from troll leather armor (they used to not, but now they do). Is it true that the amulets/mutation are both 40 regen rate? One of the examples at the bottom says 20, but the top part says 40, so I assume that 40 is the current value and the example is outdated. After that, should probably condense the vampire state information, as vampires have lost a few of the inbetween thirst states, and then it should be correct.

40 for the amulet*, and 40 per level of the mutation.

*(_Technically_, 40 per item equipped with the EQ_AMULET and AMU_REGENERATION types. [player::wearing returns an int, not a bool.] The code is written such that if the player somehow managed to equip multiple such items, they would stack, each providing one REGEN_PIP's worth of regen rate.)

Relevant code here, here and here.

Re: Regeneration in dragon form

Thanks for the link to the code, that lets me also confirm the vampire states, so I believe the page is now fully correct for .19, and I've bumped up the version.

Re: Regeneration in dragon form

The initial idea was the question if I should activate dForm for saving turns :-) In the meantime my char found regeneration spell and the problem is solved anyway.

However, thanks for your answers.
