This page is about the ability to regenerate in general. For the priest spell that applies the status effect, see Regeneration (spell).
Regeneration is the ability of a creature to slowly restore health over time without the need of potions, spells or a rest. Characters with a constitution of twenty and higher will regenerate automatically one HP per x seconds, where x decreases with increasing constitution. Potions, items and spells may apply a regeneration effect/bonus and all sources of regeneration stack (even multiple casts of the spell Regeneration or multiple potions of regeneration).
Much like with poison damage-over-time and such effects, all sources of regeneration (except the one from having high constitution) are sped up by Haste effects and slowed down by Slow effects.
