Background: in Pathfinder undead characters can’t be healed by normal healing spells, instead they take damage

Was thinking about Divinity Original Sin 2. Undeads heal with poison and take damage from healing
Yep. I messed Fane up good that way.
I’m currently replaying it. Here Fane, chug a potion, that’ll fix you rig… OH NO
I have this weird thing where I find it specifically funny when someone is using the “interrupted while talking” meme in text and cut the word off right on a letter that is silent in the word, making it sound funny when read aloud.
You mean like in every RPG since the 80’s?
Except for RuneScape, Elder Scrolls, MAID, RAW DnD (multiple editions), Vampire the Masquerade, GURPS, and many more. Its a trope that I think originated from Warcraft (really unsure about that answer). But not really many RPGs do that according to their rules explicitly.
It started in D&D 2.0 for certain, might have been in 1.0 but I don’t remember. That predates Warcraft by a few months…
Also that’s the way it worked in 3.0 D&D. You had to cast “Cause [Intensity level] Wounds” to heal Undead. I dunno about 4th, but my friends that play 5th run it that way.
It’s in every jrpg since the NES
Except ChronoTrigger, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Star Ocean, Phantasy Star, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Persona Series, Xenoblade, Pokemon, the list is much longer of those that don’t than those that do.
I don’t believe your claim is properly sourced with hard data BUT you’re on the right side of history
Undead are made with eviiiiillll magic and healing hurts them because it’s good magic.
Now, if want to go full “magic is a science because you get predictable results from consistent inputs” and start talking about reversed polarity zombies…
Okay, old man
Aw man, the issues with positive and negative energies :)
That one Final Fantasy boss fight that you can one hit kill with a healing potion tho was badass.
If you’re referring to Everae Altana (sp?) It took 2 phoenix downs to kill him the easy way. Dude was a slog any other way.
Final Fantasy X is the specific game.
The Phantom Train, which IIRC was in part 6, died in a single phoenix down.
There are quite a few of them. There was pretty much one every game you could target enemies with heals in.
Really? I played 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 back in the day. Didn’t know any of the others had a boss that would work on
Oh you could pull that on him‽‽ Yeah he was in FF6. I had no clue that would work on him and I played that game within a couple months of release.
You when the:

shameless plug: come to my brand new !imageedits@lemmy.zip. think of it like photoshop requests/battles
This is gold!!! :D
Glad you enjoy it
Ogre battle comes to mind!
I was so happy when I was finally able to BEFRIEND a ghost in the Pogrom forest … only for a healer to accidentally kill …

I recently started focusing a bit more on CRPG games, so this stuff is fairly new to me.
I can’t remember how often I tried to walk somewhere with my character mid-fight, only to be beaten to a pulp, because I forgot attacks of opportunity.
It more than once made me laugh at my stupidity, I absolutely love it
