[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

---> Let's get back to hurt Equinox, who suffered 4 extra-lethal damage. Every point of extra-lethal damage requires 4 normal healed up points to be eliminated. That'd be 4x4 = 16 healed up points to bring her back to 12/16 HP. ...Right? Is that correct until this point?


And NOOOOWWW this is where things get interesting, because you brought up a very good hint indeed:

Alternatively, if you're willing to do so, you could spare more XP from the XP you got from the Duo Leaders fight and upgrade its Regenerator for 50XP, the process of which  + the severe damage Nox has sustained will 'super charge' it into overdrive to rapidly regenerate and heal away their/her injuries as a 'One-Time Emergency Full Restore (Without incurring P.E.) . You'll have to stifle a bit more XP from Bern and delay whatever purchases you wanted to make, but on the other hand Wild Lands Regenerator is hella good and will serve Nox and Bern well now and going forward.

...That point being upgrading dear Equinox's Regenerator before she/they will jump into that Super-Boss fight. I would need to recton the 21 XP Bernhard and Nox gained from the pool (with Bernhard getting 1 XP and Nox the 20 XP, if that's legal and valid; as well as drastically delay upgrading Synchronize), but then the chimeravee sits at exactly 50 XP and without any Halved Potion Effectiveness on her:


Before I'll do that, can you give me the exact mechanics of Upgraded Regenerator in your campaign? If I upgrade here and now before dear Equi jumps off into battle, can she/they indeed....heal up ALL the damage, bringing her/'em back into 16/16 HP and totally fighting fit, as you hinted here?

(...)and upgrade its Regenerator for 50XP, the process of which  + the severe damage Nox has sustained will 'super charge' it into overdrive to rapidly regenerate and heal away their/her injuries as a 'One-Time Emergency Full Restore (Without incurring P.E.)(...)

Doh! KNEW I was forgetting something about PE in my games.

Yes, you would be 100% Correct - only AFTER the 2nd Potion is used is when PE kicks in. Thank you for reminding me dearest! *Gives the a hug and chocolate cookie!*

As for Upgrading and Regenerator:
-Synchronize is already max upgraded right now.
- Wild Lands Regenerator : Restore + 1 HP per Action OR up to 4 HP per Round of combat; effectiveness may vary based on species and Size. Outside of Battle the Ability user practically automatically and instantly heals all but Lethal , Extra Lethal, and More Than Lethal Damage; the former two can take multiple Encounters, while the later is a form of Damage that can’t be treated Physically.

Also removes the - 1 Pain Threshold, and due to their high speed regen you could ‘mildly butcher’ them for food or magical supplies without killing them and they heal quickly , though given Nox’s radioactivity I wouldn’t recommend chowing down. In terms of Berns interests getting Blood Samples, Teeth, Skin, and other ‘surface level’ stuff is relatively easy to do at Day Start, while organ harvesting is on the table if you are real careful and Nox trusts you enough for it.

- In regards to your main question: yes, upgrading Regenerator would effectively Full Heal Nox. Anyone with Skill Swap could also benefit from this , FYI. You could also just use 20 xp to ‘switch’ which ability of Nox’s is upgraded (from Synchronize to Regenerator), but that’s a bit of a waste in the long term run over max upgrading every ability of its/hers

- Upgrading Imposter technically can also deal with the Damage, but given doing so downgrades all non-upgraded abilities and locks you out of getting Acceleration it’s a fairly high cost to doing so compared to simply upgrading Regenerator. If you are curious I can tell you how Imposter works, since between Bern’s and Seddi’s backgrounds you should know how the quirky ability functions.
