Blood Vial

Blood Vial

Common
At the start of each combat, heal 2 HP.

At the start of your first turn in every combat you heal 2 HP. It runs late in the turn-start sequence and only on turn 1, so it is exactly one heal per fight. There is no cap other than your Max HP, and it works in every combat type.

Filler, its 2 HP a fight adds up to a few dozen HP over an act at most, fine from a chest with nothing better offered. Never buy it while any combat relic is available.
