Dominion HP bonus and combat

[thejeff]

Yes, hp loss/healing happens after battles.
I don't think I've ever checked it the other way. If you send a pretender from low dominion into high dominion, will he have boosted hp at the start of the battle?

Bern's got it right, and yes, healing happens at the end of the turn. The only major note to add is that life drain effects (drain life and soul vortex, etc) are also capped as a percentage of your max HP. I haven't checked what the ratio is, but I think it's something between 150 and 200% of your maximum.

[Micah]

All stats are calculated at current dominion values, but HP is the only stat that tracks a current and a max value which can diverge.

Answering my own question: Moving from a low dominion province to a higher one, a pretender arrives without full hp. He'll even have the little red bar to show he's wounded.

Sounds like a good time to start regenerating!
