heal full - complete healing of wounds: xyz

Post by Lysha » Mon Aug 01, 2011 7:19 pm

As Eyja, my lvl 50 human fighter, I have a decent amount of hitpoints and can take a good amount of damage. After a delightful spar, I was a bit battered, and decided I would heal up before I go to the Market Square. This is what happened:

Health: 26%
A priestess of Mystra is here.
heal full - complete healing of wounds: 6 platinum.
You donate 6 platinum to the priestess's faith.
The priestess begins to chant.
The priestess utters the words, 'pzar'.
A warm feeling fills your body at the priestess's touch.
Health: 53%

I'm not complaining about the amount that is healed, but I would say this: 'heal full' is misleading. Why not change it to something like 'heal greater' or something along those lines. Yes, it does heal to full on other characters who are lower level, so I can understand why the name is as it is, but as I said, misleading.

I've been away for some time, so I had forgotten that heal had changed, but I really would rather not spend 6 plat a pop for healing from an NPC. (I know I could get around this by another way, but I am not getting into that discussion right now.)

In conclusion, I am proposing a change of wording for 'heal full' due to misleading wording.

Thank you.

Changing it to mass heal might work too, that tends to do a bit more.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Spelling is not necessarily correct :)

The guru upstairs tells me this is a hard code issue, all the healers offer the same menu.

Right now the relevant lines are
heal full - complete healing of wounds: 6 platinum, 4 gold, 1 electrum, 3 silver.
heal wounds - cure critical wounds: 2 platinum, 1 gold, 1 electrum, 1 silver.

Your suggestion is to change it to
heal wounds - extensive healing of wounds: 6 platinum, 4 gold, 1 electrum, 3 silver.
heal critical - cure critical wounds: 2 platinum, 1 gold, 1 electrum, 1 silver.

Or something similar?

Or would it make more sense for them to cast heal multiple times?
