About diseases and stats...

Post by AFigureInBlack »

I've searched everywhere but can't find an answer to this. The diseases reduce my attributes but is there any way I can get the lost points back? Once I managed to get them back but I don't know how it happened. A help would be much appreciated. Also, I can't have more than 100 points for each attribute. Is there a way I could get more? Thanks \m/

most of them are permanent. so if you get diseased you'd better load last save.

Permanent? What about potions, spells and temples?
Diseases
If you are unlucky enough to contract one of the many diseases possible in the world, you must get yourself cured quickly. Diseases, unlike other damaging effects, slowly degrade whatever they normally attack. In the case of a disease such as Wound Rot, your Strength, Endurance, and Health slowly reduce until one of them reaches zero. At that point you will die. There are a few options available to you:
  • The easiest thing is to prepare beforehand. if you are a non-spellcaster go to a Mages Guild and buy a few Cure Disease potions. These can be used later to cure you of any malady. If you are a spellcaster you should buy or create a spell that will cure disease. You can buy spells from the Known Spellbook, or create them using the Spellmaker.
  • If you are inflicted with a disease and don't have a cure at hand, immediately make your way to an exit. From there you can see if based upon the rate of degeneration, you have enough time to make it to a nearby town. In a temple there can cure you.
  • If there is no town within a day or two, or you are too far from the entrance, search the dungeon. You may come across a potion in some monster's lair.
