Can a werethingy curse cure syndromes?
« on: March 13, 2012, 11:07:31 pm »

 I have an awesome adventure who's currently in retirement due to being crippled by a particular nasty one which causes constant unbearable pain, and I'm wondering if a werebeast's healing could cure her.

It definitely does not cure all syndromes, as I found out in that thread about werelizard husk.

However, most syndromes (all evil cloud syndromes that I've seen that aren't husk-type) have an endpoint. Resting for a long time might make it go away.

It is said knowledge is like a foul-smelling herb. It must be cooked well and thoroughly with experience to make it palatable. A young scholar's knowledge is therefore not only worthless but disgusting. -- In Dwarf Fortress you have another paradigm. Gather as much of that smelly herb as you can and toss it at your enemy, fracturing his skull through the +capybara man leather cap+.

Syndromes cannot be cured. They can only have an endpoint (if it doesn't, it's permanent).

However, I'm not sure if getting infected with a syndrome that makes you immune to pain nullifies it.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Pain seems to be borked in adventure mode, it returns after every fast travel. I posted this as a bug (I think), though it hasn't been resolved as of 34.05
