Resting Doesn't Restore Hitpoints

Remove all ads!

I’ve just started a solo Blade. I’m still in the dungeon. At first, there were no problems with this, but now, whenever I try to rest, none of my hitpoints are restored. I rest for only 8 hours (even though I'm down to just 10 out of 38 HP's), and spells and innates are renewed just fine, but no HP’s.

I have SoA, official patch, SP Fixpack, and a number of mods (all weidu) installed.

Anybody else encounter this? I suppose I could just use Ctrl-R, but I'd rather solve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't heal if you rest in a dungeon - you have to cast healing spells. If you don't have any healing spells (although you should have the basic cure light wounds ability) then you don't get your hitpoints back. I was under the impression you only get hitpoints back without healing if you rested in an inn.

 

Even in an inn you only get a certain number of hit points restored. The number depends on which room you take. If you ever rest and have party members with unused healing spells, they will all be cast until you are either healed, or you run out.

 

It depends on whether you've ticked the box "Rest until healed" in the options part. Otherwise you'll rest for just 8 hours and this might not be enough to restore your lost HPs.

 

Until now, I have never had a problem restoring HP's in a dungeon by resting. And in this case, I have rested several times in a row without restoring any HP's.

I'm playing core rules, if that makes a difference.

Edit: Rest until Healed is checked.

 

You certainly do get back hitpoints when you rest in a dungeon.

Splunge, are you getting interrupted while resting?

 

Pickpocket Reliev when you get out. Solve your problem like that *snap*

 

IIRC, you always restore some HP when you rest, having access to healing spells or not. Atleast my solo Barbarian got it. Might be some bug or such though.

 

@ Rastor - nope, no interruptions.

@ Mystra - do you mean Ribald (for the regeneration ring)? In which case, yes, I plan on doing that, and I guess that will solve the prblem, but so does Ctrl-R (which is what I've been doing so far). It still doesn't explain why it's happening.

Note: I tested another game which I've got on the go (I just can't seem to stick to one at a time ), and resting there works just fine.

 

Casting healing spells on resting doesn't make any difference to how many HPs you regain. My solo thief got back his full total every time he rested that didn't end with his sleep being interrupted. This happened whether he rested in an inn, dungeon, forest or the city streets.

 

Simple Solution: check the Rest Until Healed box is ticked and when you rest, you should just click and not have to watch the boring mini movie, and WALA you are fully healed, but you might rest for a long time (eg: it said for me with my thief, because i have no healing spells, apart from 1 cure minor wounds, it said i rested for 2 days and 6 hours, but unless you have Tactics mod, then you can rest as much as you want in that dungeon.)

 

???

I'm not sure what is meant by that, but I have Tactics installed, and resting has never been a problem.

I have finally come back to this game. I've left the dungeon, and rested in an Inn. Still no restoring HP's. I guess I'll just have to live with this. (Oh, the hardships! )

 

Have you tried it at different difficulty settings?

 

if you have Tactics mod then you cannot rest, well you can, but you get attacked, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of resting, thats what it means! and without the tactics mod you can rest and not get attacked, so you can rest as many times as you want in that dungeon

 

If you rest in Irenicus' dungeon with the Improved Ilyich component of the Tactics mod installed, you'll get attacked every time you wake by a shadow thief and some hounds. It's more annoying than deadly though as the party you'll have at that stage is more than capable of handling the attackers. But if you play the Tactics mod without the Improved Ilyich component installed, you can rest as often as you want.

thank you david w for making the point i was trying to make more clearer

 

Tactics, yes; Improved Ilyich, no (I don't have ToB). And I've tried it on Normal and Core Rules settings - same results. Oh well, I now have Ribald's ring, so it should now be a non-issue. Still odd, though.

 

hmmm, I'm not sure if this is true (and it actually seems a little convoluted to me), but maybe it only *seems* like you regain HP while resting in a dungeon when you have a cleric/druid in the party, so the game assumes that you 1) rest for 8 hours, with the cleric memorizing all necessary healing spells; 2) the cleric heals every one; and 3) you rest for another 8 hours with the cleric memorizing his/her original spells. If this is the case, by not having the cleric, you don't get the healing..

 

This is a bug, making sure you have “rest until healed” switched on. I installed patch back over it, fixes then played it again, and it worked fine. It happens a lot with the buggy mods and stuff.

 

My solo thief with no healing powers whatsoever healed to full HPs every time he rested in a dungeon and wasn't interrupted. The same happened with a solo fighter and a fighter/mage.
