Warhammer Quest Special Location – The Healer
“The Healer” is a new Warhammer Quest Special Location that can be included in your games of Warhammer Quest by including it as just another Special Location for the Warriors to visit in any kind of Settlement.
Whether a grand temple of the sisterhood of Shallya, a wizened physician keen to make a few coins, or a mad old lady living the life of a hermit in a creepy, ramshackle cottage on the outskirts of a village; most settlements have a Healer living among the populace.
A Healer is a Special Location as found in the Settlements section in the Roleplay Book, except that it can be found on a 4 or more when searching for it.
Whilst at the Healer, you can buy food, bandages, salves of healing and even more outlandish herbs and potions. The items described below can be bought from the Healer, using the rules for Time Wasting, stock, quantity and so on just like when visiting a Trader.
Also, whilst at the Healer, you may attempt to cure your Warrior of the effects of Poison, Plague or Starting Wounds penalties that affect him for the next Adventure. To do this, you must stay at the Healer for 1 day per stat-point (for example, each point of Strength, Toughness or Starting Wounds) that you wish to recover. During this time you do not need to roll for Settlement Events. Each day, you pay 1d6 x 50 x (Your Battle Level) Gold, and then roll 1d6. On a 3+ the Healer was able to repair the damage to your Warrior’s body.

If the drinker is the size of an Ogre, Minotaur etc then they will need to consume 2 sleeping draughts before they will take effect.
Monsters with the Large Monster, Daemonic or Ethereal Special Rules are not affected by sleeping draughts, nor are any of the Undead except Necromancers and Ghouls.
