ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Your body's strength is fed by your hatred. This causes most forms of healing to be between 50% effective (at 0 Hate) to 100% effective (at 100+ Hate).

In addition, after each kill, you store the waning life force to invigorate yourself, restoring [X] life. The amount healed is limited by the foe's maximum life, and cannot exceed [Y] at any time.

You can heal no more than [Z] life per turn this way, and it is not affected by your hatred level or other effects.

Healing from kills improves with your Willpower.

The description of Unnatural Body isn't entirely clear to me, specifically the part in bold. If it restores X life total per kill (Z per turn), then what is indicated by Y and how does it relate to the foe's maximum life?

restoring X life means it adds that much to an internal store capped at Y that is then converted to health at a rate of Z per turn.

so lets say you kill a foe and that adds 7 points to the store and 4 of those points are immediately converted to health while the remaining 3 are converted to health on the next turn.

basically this talent gives you a weak heal mod independent regeneration effect based on murder.

also X cannot be more than the max life of the opponent you killed.

hope that explains it.

Thanks, astreoth. Great explanation. The part that threw me was that exceeding the foe's maximum life was referring to X rather than Y.

While we are here, does anyone invest in this?

I do, its a nice little regeneration effect so you don't have to rest so much.
