Quote:I have a quick question that's been burning in my mind for a while, does FoH heal party members with it's holy bolt effect?The holy bolts from Fist of the Heavens will heal friendly units in your party. Regardless of the FoH level, one holy bolt is produced and targeted at each enemy unit in range (7.3 yards or so, if I remember my old testing). If a bolt hits an enemy undead unit, it does its damage and goes <poof>. If a bolt hits an enemy non-undead unit, it travels through it without effect - but it travels through it and continues in a straight line. If a bolt hits a friendly unit, it heals that unit and goes <poof>.
So, if you aim at the proper targets, and there are a decent number of enemies around, you can bathe your allies in a huge amount of holy bolts that will heal them in a big way. For instance, if there is one monster hanging back with a large group of non-undead monsters engaging your front-line allies, hitting the one monster in the back with a FoH blast will cause a wave of holy bolts to spread from that target through the enemy front line which will then be absorbed by and heal your own front-line troops.
