Failed bandage still costs 40 mana

Character: Defender
Published: 2004-01-10 19:07 UTC

Description

Is this a bug or by design? Poultice does not take mana if you fail to place it. A 40 mana hit when a skill fails is brutal on a defender, especially a low int, not high mana, defender. If this is by design, perhaps make it half mana cost like lost concentration on spells, because right now, defenders spend hours upon hours sleeping. I have spent 120 mana for three failed bandages in a row and I'm screwed for 8 hours. Please make the defender have more awake time and less continually sleeping. Thanks.

It's by design.

Poultice does not take mana if you fail to place it. A 40 mana
hit when a skill fails is brutal on a defender, especially a
low int, not high mana, defender. If this is by design,
perhaps make it half mana cost like lost concentration on
spells, because right now, defenders spend hours upon hours
sleeping. I have spent 120 mana for three failed bandages in a
row and I'm screwed for 8 hours. Please make the defender have
more awake time and less continually sleeping.

Poultice has been fixed to take the mana on failure now as well.
