Does Pristine Star heal the Hero's missing body parts like his arm, leg and eye?
It does not, since the Tyrant's blade contests the healing of Pristine Star.
Does Pristine Star heal the Hero's missing body parts like his arm, leg and eye?
I already asked, no. Tyrant's Blade contests and it isn't strong enough to overcome it. Some other effects like Pillar can though.Does Pristine Star heal the Hero's missing body parts like his arm, leg and eye?

Similar reasoning to Pristine Star, except I don't want us to spend several days wasting around recuperating while the Gamer Enemy scales up like mad + This offers Findross Research.
You can get Pristine Star with that build too ya know.[X] The Tyrant Beast
[X] Hunger - Pitiless Maw
It simply has to be done. It sets us up for the future, gives us 100% lifesteal (extremely powerful even for its high cost) and it's the best narrative.
A battered old hero should fight and defeat hoary old monsters, not go picking on young and untested weaklings

[X] Forebear's Blade - Second Stage
Rapid(if non combat) heal for allies, a massive defensive boost that itself is also a full heal once out of combat for ourselves, we can use Shine Bright to heal Letrizia and Gisena quickly then trigger our second stage to return to full health tomorrow. All while only being 2 Arete.
Actually now I have to ask this: @Rihaku: Forebear's Blade - Second Stage gives us a second form and reversion to full health. Does that include fixing our lost body-part injuries? I'm assuming not given it's only 2 arete, but it's also a forebearer effect, and those seem like exactly the kind of thing that could beat the Tyrant at his own game.
Is Ber his actual name, or is it short for something? Some suggestions for possible names: November, Amber, Ember, Bertrand, Kimberlee, Bernard? Ember sounds suitably gamer, so that would be my guess.

Thanks man - I wasn't as wed to it as the other options, so I forgot to include it.

20% chance of crippling or death. No. We're near the bottom of a death spiral that comes from being tired, then more wounded, then becoming more tired dealing with problems that are complicated by our wounds, then more wounded because we were too tired. We have to make and take time to recover.
Are there effects powerful enough to contest the enemy-effects of the Tyrant's Blade? Because I seem to remember you strongly implying we could eventually fix those injuries, though a mere two-Arete option may not be the way to do it, obviously...No, they were made by the Tyrant's blade. "Enemy effects may contest this" would certainly apply to a weapon of such power!
If it does have that much effect, it'll be because we're constantly recklessly increasing our chance of death by making suicidally ill-advised choices. In which case we'll just keep making more such choices until one of them kills us anyway.Looking at the Tyrant as naturally the shiniest pick... Considering we took the Rank build that +.25 is very valuable, the Arete also puts us in the range for a 7 cost buy even if we might need to go into debt. So it definitely has it's perks even disregarding the Apocryphal. As for the risks/returns though I think it's probably basically:
80% chance it's worth it, even a moderate complication wouldn't outweigh what we get in return.
10% It's not but we can potentially recover.
10% The quest is over.
With an additional unknown risk of our companions being attacked.
So I think the biggest question is if the Apocryphal reduction might cumulatively decrease our chance of death by over 10%.
Can we PLEASE take some low risk options until we recover our full strength? Please?
