Potion of curing
Revision as of 11:44, 20 September 2013 by Ion frigate (talk | contribs)
A blessed fluid which heals some wounds, clears the mind, and cures diseases. If it is used when one is at or near full health, it can also slightly repair permanent injuries. |
Quaffing a potion of curing cures poison, confusion, sickness and rotting, and restores 1d7 + 4 HP. If your maximum hit points have been reduced by rotting, quaffing a potion of healing at full or near full health will unrot them by 1d2 points.
You feel better.
Strategy
These are best saved for times when you need to cure a negative status effect, preferring potions or wands of heal wounds for restoring HP. However, if you should find yourself without any other healing or escape option (most commonly early in the game), these can be useful for restoring HP in a pinch. Just don't be surprised if whatever monster your facing takes off most of the healed HP with its next attack.
