I was under the impression it only took one turn...

Any suggestions?

Healing Afflictions requires 2 rolls. The first is the roll to see if Healing may occur (% chance against your Healer skill), and there is a second roll against the Affliction. Some Afflictions are harder than others. I do not believe anyone has any concrete figures on the relative reliability of Healing different Afflictions.

I do. After a successful healing attempt has been made, afflictions are being removed in the following order, until one has been successfully removed:

1. battle fright: 50% chance
2. feeblemind: 25% chance
3. diseased: 50% chance
4. crippled: 25% chance
5. blindness: 25% chance
6. lost eye: 50% chance (only possible if blindness is cured first)
7. weakened: 50% chance
8. mute: 25% chance
9. lost weapon (tail/pincer/branch/tentacle/...): 25% chance
10. lost an arm: 25% chance
11. some affliction that I don't know what it is: 85% chance
12. chest wound: 50% chance
13. limp: 50% chance
14. never healing wound: 10% chance

The "Never healing wound" is named like that because there is only a healing attempt if there are no other afflictions, or all previous healing attempts on the other afflictions have failed AND then there's only a 10% chance to heal it. A maximum of one affliction is cured per check.

Thanks for the great table ich; but I'd like to comment that immortals *must* have either better chances, or chances to heal multiple wounds.

Immortality grants Recuperation, and from everything I've witnessed, Recuperation follows totally different rules than Healing.
