Effect of N path on Regeneration

[vfb]

After some talk in IRC, I tested Regen in conjunction with mages with Nature magic.

Results:

- Having level L in Nature does not affect innate regen

- Having level L in Nature does not affect regen from items

- Having level L in Nature gives a per-turn bonus to regen of +L HP, when the regeneration is the result of a spell. So a 50HP unit with 10N will get (5 + 10) = 15 per turn regen.

- Having level L in Nature gives a per-turn bonus to regen of +X HP, X is close to L, when the regeneration is the result of a bless. So if the god has N6 for a 10% bless, a blessed 50HP unit with 10N will get for example (5 + 8) = 13 per turn regen. Sorry, could not figure out the exact formula.

- Having level L in Nature magic does not otherwise affect the effectiveness of Regeneration or Mass Regeneration spells (vanilla units do not regenerate more)

What weird results. How very typical of dom3.

That bonus for a spell is constant, not a percentage of hp?
So if the 50hp 10N mage gets (5+10)=15/turn
a 10hp 10N mages get 1+10=11/turn?

And a bit less for blessed N mages?

Yes, to all the questions.

When you have the Gift of Health up, and put a Shroud of the Battle Saint on an already Holy unit, your Regen percentage for a Nature Bless is doubled, and based on your new HPs (so N10 is 40% of (base HPs + GoH HPs)).

Regen is weird.

Agreed! I had no idea about the double regen from the shroud. I didn't even try to figure out the regen bonus on gods and prophets.

Honestly I think the right word is .. bugged.

[Sombre]

Yep. The shroud thing sounds like an exploit to me.

[Lingchih]

Consistent with my tests. Never tested the Shroud in that case though. Interesting.

[chrispedersen]

I view the shroud result as similar to the effects caused by earth bless with bracers..

[Sombre]

Earth bracers + bless also seem buggy to me and I don't use them, but I wouldn't complain about them.
