Healing - Ways to get your hit points back up!
Description
When you get hurt - that is, you lose hit points, as you can see in your score and monitor - it could be a good idea to get healed. There are various ways of being healed on Discworld; here are the basics:
Waiting:
The slowest, but easiest method: your hit points regenerate automatically over time.
Bandage:
This is a method that any player can accomplish with the right skills, which helps regenerate your hit points faster. Bandage cannot be used during combat.
Healing Tea:
Witches can brew healing tea. These teas are usually available to everyone at some of the shops owned by players (for a price of course). Be careful when drinking tea during a fight, as your bottle could get smashed out of your hands.
Blue Water:
This is a rare liquid which has most of the properties of healing tea. It can sometimes be found around holy places.
Rituals:
If you choose the priests' guild you will get some healing rituals. With a different guild you can still become a follower of a god (except for wizards or witches, who don't hold with that sort of thing). If you are a follower of Gufnork, god of Fluff, he will eventually grant you the cure light wounds ritual. Followers of other gods can use faith rods, special items imprinted with a ritual, to heal themselves - although these have their own limitations. Performing rituals takes some skill.
Rituals can be used during combat, but will limit your combat actions whilst using them.
Wands:
Players from any guild with a bit of magic skill can zap themselves (or others) with special wands that can be bought in some magical shops. This zapping can be done in combat, but takes a hand that you could otherwise use to hold, for example, a big sword.
Other Injuries
Some injuries can not be healed simply by getting your hit points back up. For example, if you have a broken leg, you will need to visit one of the Discworld's doctors, who can set it.
