You can kinda-sorta use "healing magic" if you become a werebeast or mod the game to give a magic spell (interaction) that transforms the recipient into some other creature for an instant. Transformations cause instant healing of all wounds, you see.

You can try my spellcrafts mod on for size in future worlds; It has a healing spell.

There should be a way to write a script that will go in and flip the associated flags.

If you're mangled and dead but don't hit anything except space once after the "you have been struck down" shows up, you can hit z and see your status (deceased of course) then go into gm-editor > body > components, flip every "gone" flag to "false", and all the "loss/damage" flags to false. Afterwards you'll be fully healed.

Arguably it takes less time to reroll a new adventurer, as a couple of those sections have like 200+ entries.

The problem with that is that it still records your adventurer as dead in legends, so as soon as you retire, your adventurer will be gone.

Interesting, never retired someone after having done that actually, just checked and not even removing the death cause/id flags stopped it, probably something somewhere that could.

I'm no Footkerchief, but there was already a thread with this premise already. It died last year, but you should necro it.
Well, this one is already here and alive...so why bother necroing the previous one?
Because... OH LOOK I JUST NECRO'D IT.

So dwarf necromancers can't die to dehydration, starving, or by undead (Unless you bring it upon yourself.) BUT they still breath, heres how I amazingly died.
I decided to go around sneak killing a hole load of lords, so that they don't know I did it but when I claimed the hamlet they'd just accept it, heres the thing, if anyone sees you with the blood on anything on your body, they instantly know its you (Cause reasons) apparently they can recognize everyone's blood on sight, whatever, I knew this and snuck out of the fortress to go to a river inside the hamlet territory, to add to the sneaky feeling I even picked up the body to dump into the river. So I get into the river and drop the body, then swim around a bit, hoping to increase to my next level... Then I swim underneath the bridge and not realize it said 'drowning' at the bottom till it was my last turn to get out from underneath the bridge...

Moral of the story: Necromancers, unlike witches, can in fact drown.

As for the blood, I think the problem was that you were exclusively killing the nobility. Obviously, their blue blood staining your clothes was a dead giveaway. /s

Be Tigerman, traveling with only a few hours till dawn. It'll be fine. Make campfire perimeter, wait for dawn.
Cue cackling. Whatevs I have a wall of fire. Wait for hours. Light starts to come, boogey men still here. Moving in closer to fire.
Muscular bogey man unnervingly close. Can he jump this campfire? I jump the campfire, sprinting away.
More bogey men materialize from nowhere and flank me.
I climb a tree. Everyone knows bogeymen can't climb trees.
Muscular bogey man climbs tree, punching me in the spleen with every branch I climb.
I jump to a crippling end. Bogey men dance the dance of victory around my corpse.

My last five adventurers have all died to lung shots, one time I got snatched by a roc in the lungs... How do you even snatch lungs? Others were to daggers, arrows, bolts, spears, and one time a punch that crushed my lungs, from a priest.

My last adventurer (an elephant woman) got thrown down one of those pits in goblin dark fortresses that lead all the way to the caverns.  Or nudged down.  Or tumbled down of her own accord.  I was never quite sure the exact cause as one minute she was thundering about in the dark, tossing goblins and trolls down the pits with wanton abandon, and the next she was tumbling down them herself, hopelessly flailing to catch herself as she fell.. and fell.. and fell.. and fell some more.. those are some deep pits.

Her death was attributed to a goblin who legends claims threw her against an obstacle causing immediate death, but I was never quite sure if she hadn't just sprinted recklessly over the edge.

Night creatures. Without very high skills, they're absurdly hard to hit. And they're quite capable of sending a hyper-velocity fork through your helmet to one-shot you if you can't get a decisive blow early.

I remembered having one of my first adventurers die, by jumping off of a elven tree home. I forgot that A: flying doesn't work that way, and B: Mantis folk are squishy.

Later, I had a modded creature- a vampire lykas (lupine humanoid with tusks) who, after slaughtering a quite literal horde of goblins, a dragon and a titan (or two), got devoured by something that reminds me why I never go into the caverns: the fearsome giant [EXPLETIVE_DELETED] cave spider.
