I've started this topic because I would like to know why so many turn down thaumaturgical healing. I play a Templar and often offer it, but just because I'm a Templar does not mean I cannot help with healing. I would be interested in knowing why people refuse.

I'm afraid I don't ask for healing out of habit, mostly. Partially due to the fact that I'm normally out of the way, and because I'm used to being out on my own.

However, I do always accept offered thaumaturgy based healing. Or bandages, typically, unless I have a reason to refuse a person's help in game.

It depends on the character for me. Most of mine will always accept healing that's offered. One or two may not depending on their mood or the person doing the healing for RP reasons. Some characters like to be self-sufficient, want to practice first aid, or may just not like having strange magic being shot at them.

And it's much more convenient to walk into a town and not have to communicate with anyone and be totally nonsociable.

Jaster just doesn't want anyone knowing he got scuffed up. Might ruin his image.

It's the new in thing to do.

As you probably know, Lem eschews all spellcasting on principle.

I love finally finding a MUD (ours) where it is quite possible to opt-out of magic and still succeed. Other games, you might make it to level 6 without magic, then your progression was essentially shipwrecked unless you located a spellcaster and requested spells to be cast on you.

Cooties.

Unless I know there is someone who is near who wants to heal, I don't ask. I also tend to take care of my own wounds when I have the chance. Though, I cannot say I remember a time when I outright rejected healing.

I always reject healing. Dunno why.

As Rias would say... because you're a horrible person.

Also. I like corn.

I like turtles.

If someone is nether-tainted, they cannot endure Thaumaturgy.

I am not aware if this applies to the average character starting out in Corvus, or not...anybody know?

That condition is generally not something people openly discuss.

Older thread but I just want to say all you monk healers please know I appreciate your help! I get wounded a lot since I don't wear armor, I would love to take a healer along with me sometime to fight infested pirates. Their maces hurt!

And Lae has perfect timing, she just got me all healed. Thanks Lae!

I am so making real infested pirates now.

Does that mean we're getting the ocean soon?
