Potion of heal wounds

Version 0.21: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Potion
Name	Potion of heal wounds
Icon

A magical healing elixir which causes wounds to close and heal almost instantly. It can also repair rotting.

Quaffing a potion of heal wounds restores 9 + 3d28/3 HP (23 on average), up to your max HP. Any rot damage will be healed first. Each point of rot reduces the effectiveness of healing by 2 points for every point of rot.

You feel much better.

Strategy

Unlike a potion of curing, potions of heal wounds do not cure status effects (e.g. poison, sickness, or confusion), but the restored HP may keep you alive long enough for them to pass on their own.

History

• Prior to 0.17, potions of heal wounds could only heal rot damage at or near full health.
