Na but I try to not follow clichés too heavily

[ProfessorCirno]

To Zigur's favor, only Wilders can actually heal other people, though of course not all Wilders join up with Zigur. Those brave, valiant paladins, charging into battle, and then...healing only themselves

[HousePet]

They can use Bathe in Light.

[Mewtarthio]

Also, in lighter (sort of) news, I'm surprised there hasn't been a "zombie" outbreak, what with all the disease, blight, Blight, Corruption, and other dark forces rife throughout Eyal. Perhaps a certain Time lord isn't a zombie enthusiast?

There is no Zombie. Only Ghoul!

According to the lore mages can cure diseases. There are all sorts of abilities that people in the lore have that the player can never get. Brew potions, plant grain, weave cloth, etc.

Disperse magic.

Disperse magic.

Quite effective at treating blight-based diseases that either make you explode or run their course in less than two minutes, but I'm not sure if it works so well against pneumonia.

That being said, my headcanon is that the PC is extremely specialized at inflicting violence, at the cost of being at least mildly incompetent at anything without an immediate tactical combat application. Ever wonder why Tarelion sends you into the Abashed Expanse instead of a team of archmages lead by himself? All the other mages have better things to do with their time, and they figured "Eh, might as well toss that violent oaf up in there and see if he manages to kick things back into place."

[darkgod]

I like your explanation Mewtarthio !

[Ramidel]

It's an adventurer thing. Adventurers train in such a way that they gain incredible combat power incredibly fast, but they don't learn to do anything actually useful with their power except plunder and conquer.

Why do you think that nearly all the adventurer types in the game are as hostile as orcs?

Because they're starving, unable to eat the blight-ridden (or simple pulped) creatures they encounter, and hoping they can find some food in your pack? Clearly, they're too feral to actually ask for a meal!

[darkgod]

lol

[FruitAndGarbage]

Adventurers don't eat, that's silly. As soon as you Venture Into The Unknown For Glory And Riches your whole digestive system just becomes an appendix.

I've sigged part of this, I hope you don't mind Mewtarthio, this is simply hilarious, in no small part because of how beautifully accurate it is!
