Curing Wounding

[Janos Antero]

When a character is affected by multiple incidents of the wounding special ability, does it require multiple cure or Heal check to remove all incidents, or is each incident going to require a seperate check?

A Cure will close all current wounds, although later blows will bleed normally.

 

[Janos Antero]

Have a reference on that by chance? I appreciate the reply.

i would agree tha a cure spell would close all wounds, but i'm not so sure one heal check would do it...

Based on the description of the Wounding ability in the DMG, I cannot see any reason to require more than one cure spell or Heal check. If it did, it would say so.

Also, WotC just posted a new spell to their Spellbook page on their website called Styptic. It is a 0-level cleric spell that stops the bleeding from wounds caused by slashing, piercing, or wounding weapons.

Isnt that spell useless compared to Cure Minor Wounds (heals 1 hp damage)?

Compared to the current CMiW, yes it is.

However, Wounding, bleeding, or Curing may be changing in 3.5...

See, I figured it'd be useless compared to cure minor wounds too. Then I remember CMW's range of Touch and figured, hey, maybe this spell could be useful if was usable at range.

Unfortunately, I was horribly wrong. I just don't see the point of preparing that spell when CMW is oh so much better.

Back to the original topic though. A single cure spell or Heal check should fix all of the wounds.

there's a whole other thread for the CMW vs. Styptic Debate, but generally...yes, it is useless.
