5.1.1 Regeneration of Health and/or Mana: Notes!
(see also HELP RECOVERY)
Health regeneration - "How quickly does your health rise when you are damaged?"
Mana regeneration - "How quickly does your mana rise when you are below full?"
First, Health regeneration. Then Mana regeneration below that.
HEALTH REGENERATION

What Affects Health Regen Within Limits
---------------------------------------
regen ring: 1-2 levels
berkana rune: 1 level
trollskin armour(*): 2 levels
The total of levels that will affect health regen is 3. Having a total of
levels beyond 3 is possible, but will not increase health regeneration rates.
No more than one regen ring (the best, if more than one is worn) will grant any
regen for the wearer.
The 3-level limit is for health and has nothing to do with mana: the two are
independent limits.
Examples of Limits on Health Regeneration
-----------------------------------------
Suppose you wish to maximize health regeneration. How may this be accomplished?
Acquire a level 2 regen ring and a berkana rune. This would provide 3 levels of
health regen. A boar tattoo would speed things further, as boar tattoo and
boost/regen abilities do not count towards the 3-level limit.
Perhaps the player has a rare suit of trollskin armour* and wants to purchase a
health regen ring. What should the player buy? A level 2 regen ring would be a
waste, since only 3 levels of health regen are counted. Boar tattoo and
boost/regen abilities do not count towards the 3-level limit, and so are not a
consideration.
The same person wishes to obtain a berkana rune. If the player already has a
level 1 regen ring, of what value would the berkana rune be? None - the player
already has 3 levels of health regeneration and cannot benefit from any more.
* Trollskin armour, a discontinued artefact, is no longer sold or available.
MANA REGENERATION
-----------------
What Always Affects Mana Regen
------------------------------

What Affects Mana Regen Within Limits
-------------------------------------
Racial bonus mana regen: 1-3 levels
mana regen ring: 1-2 levels
This is always limited to a maximum of 3 levels. The 3-level limit is for mana
and has nothing to do with health: the two are independent limits.
