Healing idea

[igorith]

I just now read about the healing limits, and was a bit dismayed because I try to base my charecter largely on a balance of healing and armor. And since we cant cast healing spells in combat anymore, I was thinking that maybe the cost of healing potions/wands/ect. could go down a little. Not a major drop in cost but maybe 10 or 15 gp lower.

How would that small price different help?

I disagree, being that I buy healing potions in bulk(100+ at a time), the current price is fine. If anything Healing and mana potions are priced a little too low. The fact that you're able to heal without any lore or meditation(or mana pots) is what makes them priced as they are. It is easily possible to train with just skill healing, potions are just an added bonus.

For giants, yes. For other races, at least some potions are practically a requirement if they plan on skill healing.

I hardly use pots of healing on my dwarf when I train him....

Training and exploring/questing are different things. Training isn't the time when you're normally going to use potions. I rarely used potions on my dwarf while training. But I used them all the time while questing.

I was not referring to giants, all races are easily made without potions, potions just ease the process. Races with more hp than sp can use mana shield with a mild amound of healing(my pixie for example uses 5 healing+regeneration when i feel like that 1 extra hp for a little while), while races with mediocre hp and sp can use a combination of mana shield and skill healing, or full skill healing, I have made a workable dwarf that just used skill healing and let his sp go to waste(i stopped using him when someone sent me to a google of his name...it was a rather terrible name after i saw that), but anyways, potions are just for easing the process and it is not overly difficult without them provided you're not bulldozing into an area much above your level ability, or unless you've severly murdered your skillset.

Ach, forgot about mana shield. >.<

The price on heal potions is fine, though. Especially now that they no longer heal fully and have a warm-up timer. I'm not sure if they'll provide much use, for me anyway, as I only used them in tight situations.
