I have the Mavin, am sailing round trying to find crabs for the shells, am getting them slowly thanks to replys to Penelight's message, everytime I'm hit by something and lose strength I'm unable to use "heal" or "great heal" on my character. He eventually dies and I have to go back to the temple and heal him there but the trouble starts again and he dies. Nothing I've tried seems to work. I've dropped the Mavin sword, tried bless, cure etc.. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like your guy is a vampire. I think that you can bite (using the same button as the Dragon whatever... second row, middle button).

Good luck

I second Ryanmur's comment. Sounds like the traits of a Vampire. Note that you can "heal" him with the Toughen spell -- check out the excellent tips from... now who was that.. decaf_dar, aka Namo, on the Best Tips thread (page 6).

Only cure for vampirism that I know of is the famous reload spell (as in reload a saved game).

You probably got it from Lysandra (in Shurugeon) or Adrianna in Skull Castle. Perhaps from another vampiress hanging around somewhere, but those two offer you the opportunity (in such sweet, subtle, and soothing tones...)

If you're too far off for reload, you can alway get a character editor and take out the "vampire" trait.

You can get the character editor here:

Good luck

Thanks guys

I'm a vampire

Toughen works well
