Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

I've seen afflictions disappear off a Phoenix (immortal and not undead).

But I've got a bunch of injured Wraith Lords in one game. They've been crippled etc for quite a number of turns now, and do not appear to be getting better at all. Am I just unlucky? Do undead immortals automatically heal their afflictions over time?

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

Yeah, sounds like bad luck, they'll heal eventually.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

Keep in mind some wounds take longer to heal than others. The one that I noticed taking the longest is the "Never healing wound" that gives a 20% hp reduction. I have seen immortal/recuperating units keep that affliction for a VERY long time.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

heh. wonder how long "grow a new head" takes.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

You may find it easier to get them killed. You have about a 50% chance to heal an affliction.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

I've been sending out the never-healing-wound guys into battle because I figured there wasn't much chance of that healing anyway, and they've been killed repeatedly without their affliction disappearing.

I've got more cripples that I'm not using to attack (AP=2 is lame). I thought they would have healed by now. Maybe my miasma is interfering: they could be auto-healing the disease they occasionally get first, and never get around to healing their legs. I wasn't really paying attention to their diseased status, but I think I saw it pop up occasionally.

Lch has disease healing first in his afflictions recovery summary:

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

I think you've got it exactly right. They are healing - and recontracting the disease. I've seen the exact thing before.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

Yep, my guess would be miasma is complicating things.

IMHO, not even immortal/rec unit should heal from it and healer should not be able to heal it.
never means never.
1 : not ever : at no time <I never met her>
2 : not in any degree : not under any condition <never the wiser for his experience>

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

That's one opinion among many and reliant on absolute interpretation of words while ignoring possible colloquial usage. It's hard enough to heal with GoH or the Chalice, never mind the lesser healing techniques and can persist for a long time even when subjected to constant healing checks, because it has that great a difficulty. For everyone but a few, it is indeed a never-healing wound.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

I think it's that "10% Healing Wound (at Best)" or "Hardly Ever Healing Wound" just sound kind of silly.

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

The wound is never healing. It can be healed by supernatural/external forces, however :]

Re: Undead immortals and affliction healing
 

not bad...... i like it.
