Status effects and cures

Use the cure for the named condition. Frostvein Draft handles Burn and Freeze; Thunderwake Draught handles Stun and Paralyze. A general healing potion restores HP but does not automatically clear the effect causing the damage or lost action.

Cures and consequences

Effect	What changes and how to respond
Poison	Ongoing damage; Cure Poison potion or Void Mend rank 4
Burn	Ongoing Fire damage; Frostvein Draft or Void Mend rank 3
Bleed	Ongoing HP loss; Void Mend rank 2
Freeze	Skips the round; Frostvein Draft
Stun	Cannot act; Thunderwake Draught or Void Mend rank 5
Paralyze	Party cannot move, but heroes can still attack; Thunderwake Draught
Blind	−50 physical hit-chance points; wait for expiry or use spells
Disease	Resting gives no recovery; remove it before spending food on rest

The potion recipes give ingredients. Potions and other inventory consumables do not use the hero’s ordinary combat action, which can make a carried cure useful when the healer’s cooldown is still running.

Repeated effects extend time

For Poison, Burn and Bleed, a new application keeps the higher damage-per-round value and adds its rounds to the remaining duration. It does not add both damage values together. Stun uses the longer duration rather than adding durations.

An existing 2-damage Bleed with two rounds left followed by a 4-damage, three-round Bleed becomes 4 damage for five rounds. Exsanguinate has its own direct damage increase and should be treated separately.

Resistance is not immunity

Fire resistance reduces Fire damage; it does not by itself make a hero immune to Burn. Endurance changes Poison duration, but does not lower the chance of every status landing. Low Endurance can extend Poison, while sufficiently high Endurance can shorten an application to zero rounds.

A Slugman’s critical immunity also does not prevent ordinary damage or status effects. Its doubled Fire damage makes Burn particularly urgent. Check actual immunities and the combat log before assuming an attribute or race covers a condition.

For a healer, the Voidcaller rank table puts the cure thresholds beside the increasing mana cost.

For the quest-specific temporary transformation, see Mushroom Bond. Its recipient choice and later consequences are separate from the ordinary combat cures above.
