Healing encompasses the recuperation of lost hit points resulting from combat and various incidents, playing a pivotal role in safeguarding the survival and overall health of game characters. Hit points can be restored through several means, which include:

Rest: requires time to recover and gain hit points on a daily basis; see aid rest.
Class Abilities: lay on hands.
Food Effects. Hit points can be healed through the consumption of a meal, if the character is made to feel sated, happy or elated.
Healing Spells: cure light, serious and critical wounds, aid, goodberry, heal and heroes' feast.
Magic Items: the Cup of Al'Akbar, healing salve, Keoghtom's ointment, a periapt of wound closure, potions of healing and extra-healing, a ring of regeneration and scrolls with the above-mentioned spells.
Natural Abilities: regeneration.
Places: glades, shrines
Sage Abilities: aid rest, bring comfort, ceramic ornament, flowing chi, horse physiology and temporal feast.


By implementing as many of the methods mentioned above, a party can anticipate a better chance of thriving in a game world that poses constant threats of damage and killing each member. Parties embarking on adventures frequently find themselves pitted against adversaries and forces intent on causing harm and destruction. Consequently, they often need to adapt and continue their quests with significantly reduced hit points, as maintaining full hit points at all times is a rare luxury.
