Background: in Pathfinder undead characters can’t be healed by normal healing spells, instead they take damage

    Was thinking about Divinity Original Sin 2. Undeads heal with poison and take damage from healing

        I’m currently replaying it. Here Fane, chug a potion, that’ll fix you rig… OH NO

          I have this weird thing where I find it specifically funny when someone is using the “interrupted while talking” meme in text and cut the word off right on a letter that is silent in the word, making it sound funny when read aloud.

      Except for RuneScape, Elder Scrolls, MAID, RAW DnD (multiple editions), Vampire the Masquerade, GURPS, and many more. Its a trope that I think originated from Warcraft (really unsure about that answer). But not really many RPGs do that according to their rules explicitly.

          Except ChronoTrigger, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Star Ocean, Phantasy Star, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Persona Series, Xenoblade, Pokemon, the list is much longer of those that don’t than those that do.

            I don’t believe your claim is properly sourced with hard data BUT you’re on the right side of history

            Undead are made with eviiiiillll magic and healing hurts them because it’s good magic.

            Now, if want to go full “magic is a science because you get predictable results from consistent inputs” and start talking about reversed polarity zombies…

    That one Final Fantasy boss fight that you can one hit kill with a healing potion tho was badass.
