Question: Gift of Reason to cure Feeblemind?

Sorcerors, unfortunately don't get the Change Shape order.
They just change on death.

I would hope that the chance of healing only applies to those who change when wounded.
Can you heal Dragons by changing back and forth?

It looks like thejeff is right, i.e. only those that change shape when wounded have a chance to heal afflictions.

I just ran a test game with a dragon pretender. He charged into battle turn 1 and got a limp affliction in the process of securing the province. I then set him to the back of the main army and scripted him to Change Shape 5 times and attack rear. After 20 battles (100 shape changes), he still has the same limp affliction.

The reason shape shift sometimes cures afflictions is because it was originally an attribute of serpent cataphracts. When the rider dies it would be stupid if the serpent had an affliction. The game has evolved a lot since then and there are probably lots of strange effects not intended. Now it is possible to temporarily change shape, on death, to and fro, etc.
