Clarifying note on regeneration

(1/10) > >>

EdTheKet:
Minerva raised a good point recently, and after talking to Leanthar, we've come up with some more, and came up with the following rules of thumb for everyone out there on how regeneration works on Layonara.

- f you lost a limb/body part, and you still have the wound, it regenerates if you have regeneration cast on you. You do not have to have the lost limb/body part in order for it to grow back.

 - A lost limb/body part cannot regenerate if the wound has healed normally (bandage or time), or by magic means (like a Cure Minor Wounds).

 (i.e. if somebody lost a leg last year, and a regeneration spell is cast a year later, the leg doesn't grow back, or Chanda who lost her finger years ago, will not get it back if she now has regeneration cast on her)

 - if you are raised or resurrected, you return to full health, all limbs/body parts attached.
 
 -if you are a person that already misses a limb/body part, and that limb/body part loss was healed by normal or magic means in the past, and you get raised/resurrected, you do not come back with that limb/body part.

- if you lose a limb/body part because of a disease, this is not cured by regeneration or after raising/resurrecting
 
- if you lose a limb/body part because of a curse, this is not cured by regeneration or after raising/resurrecting.

- lost limbs/body parts can only be restored/returned by major NPC (GM controlled), ritualistic healing magic involving several clerics (under GM supervision), CDQ or artefact under GM control. (We don't want players able to negate silly and stupid decisions or actions by simply casting a spell like regeneration.). Loss of a limb or body part is done by RP, so the return of a limb/body part will also involve RP.

- dismemberment/mutilation/torture is to be available to Evil PCs (within reason, and all players involved consenting OOCly). It cannot be forced on a player character without this consent, this is griefing and not allowed (regardless of the fact that it would indeed be possible, it is griefing, so do not do it)

Other points:
- Regeneration on an item is considered the same as regeneration from the spell.
- Vampiric regeneration is considered the same as regeneration from the spell, except it goes in bursts as this heals you for the damage you deal.
- Cure XXX Wounds and the Heal spell, or healing potions, do not discriminate between wounds. When used, as much damage as the spell/potion can heal is healed.

If there's any questions, please post them here.

Pibemanden:
What if you are regenerating as part of some item? Is that considered as magical regeneration or just minor healing?

Weeblie:
What about Greater Restoration?

Dorganath:
Greater Restoration does not do anything for lost limbs.  It heals, removes effects of diseases, level drain, etc.

Is by time, mechanically, resting?

Does the Cure Wounds/Heal spell or Cure Wounds/Heal potion or the healing kit (viz, the Heal skill) have to be "directed" explicitly to the wound site to affect the healing of it, or does having Cure Wounds/Heal cast upon you or drinking a Cure Wounds/Heal potion or applying the healing kit affect all wounds generally, and thus affect the wound of the missing limb/body part?

Script Wrecked.
