Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

After some talk in IRC, I tested Regen in conjunction with mages with Nature magic.

Results:

- Having level L in Nature does not affect innate regen

- Having level L in Nature does not affect regen from items

- Having level L in Nature gives a per-turn bonus to regen of +L HP, when the regeneration is the result of a spell. So a 50HP unit with 10N will get (5 + 10) = 15 per turn regen.

- Having level L in Nature gives a per-turn bonus to regen of +X HP, X is close to L, when the regeneration is the result of a bless. So if the god has N6 for a 10% bless, a blessed 50HP unit with 10N will get for example (5 + 8) = 13 per turn regen. Sorry, could not figure out the exact formula.

- Having level L in Nature magic does not otherwise affect the effectiveness of Regeneration or Mass Regeneration spells (vanilla units do not regenerate more)

What weird results. How very typical of dom3.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

That bonus for a spell is constant, not a percentage of hp?
So if the 50hp 10N mage gets (5+10)=15/turn
a 10hp 10N mages get 1+10=11/turn?

And a bit less for blessed N mages?

Yes, to all the questions.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

When you have the Gift of Health up, and put a Shroud of the Battle Saint on an already Holy unit, your Regen percentage for a Nature Bless is doubled, and based on your new HPs (so N10 is 40% of (base HPs + GoH HPs)).

Regen is weird.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

Agreed! I had no idea about the double regen from the shroud. I didn't even try to figure out the regen bonus on gods and prophets.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

Honestly I think the right word is .. bugged.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

Yep. The shroud thing sounds like an exploit to me.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

Consistent with my tests. Never tested the Shroud in that case though. Interesting.

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

I view the shroud result as similar to the effects caused by earth bless with bracers..

Re: Effect of N path on Regeneration
 

Earth bracers + bless also seem buggy to me and I don't use them, but I wouldn't complain about them.
