Hey Folks,
Been awhile since I've played DR! I'm so glad I decided to come back and visit. LOVE all the new changes.
At any rate, I've been working to get my bearings with the new systems. With the advent of alchemy and the remedies discipline, coupled with the new awesome changes to Devour, what would comprise a solid, but simple survival kit for a very self-reliant necro? I'd love a wide variety of opinions.
I've gotten into the habit of carrying spare chunks of preserved material around... however, what wounds hinder my casting? Limb wounds, head wounds, and nerve wounds, right? Assuming that, I'm looking to utilize alchemy to cover that weak point. What are you guys carrying around, and what sort of alchemy ranks do I need to shoot for to create the "good stuff"?
Thanks!

As you have correctly identified, the most annoying wounds are nerves, hands and internal head. I carry remedies for at least wounds in these areas. Having said that, in most places you can find a creature you completely outclass and use it for siphon vitality and consume flesh/devour fodder. Head wounds can prevent you from using cambrinth but otherwise are not a problem if you straight cast or use harnessed mana. Nerve wounds increase your backfire rate and reduce the length you can hold mana but can be managed by reducing the amount of mana you put into the spell.

To elaborate a bit, your kit will be entirely dictated by your magical skills. If they are high enough to get off a decent cast of consume with nerve wounds then you don't need herbs. However that is a fairly high skill amount. I encourage you to get some wounds and test your limits. If you need wounds in specific locations I am sure if you look around the guild enough there will be someone willing to help!
