Regeneration

Why dont you regenerate while you sleep? This is something that has really bugged me while playing this game. I havent been totally sure before but my sorcerer with Sword of Charname just slept for 18 days straight after he was the sole survivor of a really tough battle in HoW. Is this adressed in a later patch because I am not sure I have the newest but I havent seen any news of a newer than the one I have.

 

They do get a point or two (j/k - but not many anyway) every 8 hours of rest. That's why you needed so much rest. You'd heal much faster if you had a regeneration ring or other item equipped, AND then rested.
What I do is have my cleric (and my Paladin and monk too) heal everyone as much as possible before resting, even if she has to use ALL of her memorized spells.
If you see you can't heal everyone fully before resting, heal them all such that they all have about the same points left to heal. That will make sure you don't rest for a very long time just because 1 party member needed the extra healing.
What I think they should have done is a true "rest until healed", not just in chunks of 8-hour periods.

 

I DO have the ring equipped, thats what bugs me. As long as I dont sleep I regenerate one hp per round but when I take a nap the regeneration stops. It has worked like that for everyone in my party and everyone has regeneration gear. Oh and clerics are really stupid as well, if you have it on rest until healed they dont use spells until the other period so if your party has any injury at all 16h is the minimum time that you rest. There are some things that has gotten worse since SoA. The ones I mentioned in this thread really bugs me.

 

Oh.. I didn't have that problem (sleeping *days*) with a regeneration item equipped. But you'll end up sleeping days even if just *one* party member needs that much rest and doesn't have such an item equipped. Are enough of these items around?
And I agree, they could have had an option to have healers apply all their spells on the party automatically before going to rest.

 

There is an option that allows you to sleep till you heal, i have it on and everyone always heals till full, whether they have regeneration items or not, usually 16 hours when everyone is down, only once did it take more then 16 hours, but everyone was in the red.

 

I've made three parties, and I've noticed my second one (evil party: Drow, Half-elf, tiefling, dwarf, human, half-elf) seemed able to heal MUCH faster than my other two. My dwarf, for example, healed 65 hit points in 16 hours! My other parties take like 10 DAYS to heal 40 hit points. The dwarf doesn't have a ring of regen, or the periapt of healing equipped, either. My evil party is at around 170 days in Chult, while my original party (read: mistake) was like 220 days in the Ice Temple.

 

No not all of the party has that but I havent counted with it either. In BG2 if you had sleep until healed turned on the healers first used all their healingspells before going to sleep automatically, you regenerated while you slep so if a char was down to 1hp of 200 and you had a regenerative item he was full after a rest. Here in IWD2 rest until healed appears to more or less only rest until you heal naturally. Regerenaration items has lost some of its appeal to me as I hate to sleep more than 8h.
And if someone has something else to say it would be nice if it wasnt stating the obvious.

 

I also hate to sleep more than 8h. I use the healing rings, the neck and girldle stuff and especially the Bane sword (-4) but sometimes, rarely though, it will do 50 hps of damage which is a bug.

I also hate to rest more than 8h so I use my healing spells to get my members on feet. After I get everyone fully healed, I choose to rest 8h which is enough to rememorize my spells.
If my healing spells are not enough I simply use potions.
