=== Healers ===
=== Healers ===
If the Stranger is in quite good health, he can give blood to the healers and practice the virtue of Sacrifice. The cities of Skara Brae and Jhelom feature a healer and a cheap [[#Inns|inn]] where the party can rest, making them suitable locations where to improve Sacrifice quickly.
The healers in Britannia provide access to three spells: curing (100 gold), healing (200 gold), and resurrection (300 gold). The healers are expensive compared to purchasing and mixing regents, resting in inns or camping, but are useful should the other options be unavailable.
 
If one of the party members is poisoned and there is not enough gold, the healers can cure the poison for free, asking you to likewise give onto others.
 
If the Stranger is in quite good health, he can give blood to the healers and practice the virtue of Sacrifice. The cities of Skara Brae and Jhelom feature a healer and a cheap [[#Inns|inn]] where the party can rest, making them suitable locations where to improve Sacrifice quickly.
 
Castle Britannia is also useful, as Lord British will heal the party for free (or at the cost of cutting down experience points, in some versions), and has a healer on the lower floor.


Unfortunately, Lord British didn't introduce free health care (like in the European Union) yet, so you have to pay cash every time you go to a healer. At least, they don't ask to see your health insurance (unlike in the USA and UK).
