Wounding

[Heeza]

Last night I was in a zone near Beryn, perhaps its was Beryn. Anyways, there were some Clerics there that would summon those Celestial Bison. My Character is a level 9, and twice I died a quick and horrible death (more so than usual -- I'm actually quite good at it you know). Anyways, I noticed a drop of blood type icon would sometimes appear and I would take 18 points of damage. The person I was grouped with said this was the properties of "Wounding" Since I only have 68 HP's it didn't take long for me to die. Anyways, I looked up wounding and got this from the NWN Main Wiki

"Wounding is the opposite of regeneration. If you cause wounding on an opponent, they will lose one 1 hp a round until they either die or heal. "

So, was I supposed to take 18 damage each time? or has something gone amuck?


Thanks again....sorry, no screen shots.

Wounding is something the Bison does, yes.
As for how much I am not sure. Any of my characters that have used bisons vs. ogres have found that the damage from wounding is reduced to zero due to their damage resistance/immunity, so it may depend on what kind of armor you had on at the time. I believe it's cumulative, though, which means the amount of damage you take from a wounding attack will stack each time you're hit by a bison.

It's supposed to go away as soon as you are healed by a kit or other means, so while its dangerous it doesn't have to be deadly...I can't verify if this is the way it works, though. Hope that helps!

Unless I am mistaken Wounding is a variable effect. On other servers I have played on I have seen it scale with the casters level. BTW, it is nice to see this working here.

One of the denizens of the Air Plane also do wounding. nasty stuff that is

Mage staff of affliction has wounding property. Wounding fromt he staff is not cumulative from what I have seen.
