Talk:Medicine skill

Toxic Poisoning
The skill's description in-game mentions reducing the period of Toxic Poisoning at Trained and Advanced ranks. Is this completely false? Please verify if you know for sure, not that I mind speculation. Bushwhacker2k (talk) 22:20, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Re: Toxic Poisoning
it's completely false and is just another example of flavor text that strays from actual gameplay effects. The medicine skill has no effect on the duration of toxic poisoning.

This can be verified by the fact that "GetSkillLevelValue(class'SkillMedicine')" appears only a single time in the code, which is the "CalculateSkillHealAmount" function for the DeusExPlayer class. This function is only used in the "HealPlayer" function when the second input parameter bUseMedicineSkill is true, and is separate from the code for the poison damage-over-time effect.

I've edited the article to clarify this part of the game mechanic, since I've seen it cause confusion in other discussions.
