Healing Blood Wounds

Post by Jaracove » Wed May 31, 2017 11:16 pm

Page 240: Unless specifically noted, any Wound caused by the use of any form of blood magic is considered to be a Blood Wound, and can be healed after a year and a day.

Page 240: Use of a healing potion (or similar healing aids) to heal a Blood Wound may only be attempted after all other normal Wounds have been healed...If the test succeeds, the Wound heals, leaving a runic scar.

Page 242: A character who violates a blood peace oath suffers a Blood Wound...This Wound lasts for a year and a day from the time it appears, and may be healed as described under Blood Wounds, above

Page 244: If a character violates a blood promise oath...These Wounds last for a year and a day from the time the blood promise is broken, and will not heal naturally during this time. A character may attempt to heal the Blood Wound with a healing potion as described above

I'm confused, can Blood Wounds be healed by a healing potion within the year and a day duration, or after?

Yes, they can, but they require a test, and if successful, they leave a (permanent) mark.

Thanks for the reply

Why then, does it say on page 240 they "can be healed after a year and a day"?

Because after a year and a day, they can be healed normally, like any other wound. (After a full night's sleep, when not suffering any current damage.)

Just like blood magic damage turns into "regular" damage that can be healed, the blood wound becomes a "regular" wound.
