Forum:HP keeps dropping

< Forum:Watercooler

Level 17 Wizard in Gehennom. For some reason my HPs continue to drop. I am not poisoned and a unicorn horn has no effect. Level remains constant. Any ideas to the cause and or cure sure would be appreciated. An Elven Wizard named Hmm.70.193.68.5 19:07, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Weird... All I can think of that would cause that is being polymorphed into a sea monster outside of water or being severely overburdened (both steadily decrease your health). You're playing vanilla Nethack, I assume? BellisColdwine (talk) 03:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Maybe it's an invisible monster?

For clarification, it is max HP that continues to drop. Was in upper 90s and now in 60s. This is Vulture-Nethack on top of vanilla version 3.4.3-14. The character is currently stressed. My best recollection is that max hp drops during a fight and does not return. I did have a nasty and prolonged battle with an Arch-lich. Hmm...````

Do you have fire resistance? Fire traps lower your maxhp if not, and they're common in Gehennom. Wooble (talk) 15:47, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
