Hey, I know this one! Units without regeneration do not recover any HPs in battle or between battles in the same turn. Units have different levels of regeneration. 10% of HPs/round seems to be the standard (Wyrms, Werewolves,...). Black Serpents recover 50% per round and Queens of Elemental Water 100%. I suspect, but have not verified, that regeneration from items, spells, and abilities stack.

From what Johan just said I guess that affliction resistance is not related to the level of regeneration. I had wondered about that.

You are quite correct here.
There is also "Personal Regeneration" spell whose power (regeneration rate) depends on nature level of wizard - better nature level = better % of HP healed per turn.

Basically the difference between regeneration and healing afflictions is that regeneration helps/works in battle and only in battle (tactical value), while healing afflictions helps/works only after battle (strategic value).
