The rules say to increase the max wounds of heroes (based on conquest gained in the overlord's keep) before the battle begins. Do I also increase their current wounds to reflect this increase as well as their max wounds?

If anything increases your wounds, it increases current wounds as well.

Cool, thank you!*

*Also, the above statement was too short to submit. So I added this bit, just to thank you.

That length-checker is annoying. Over at BGG I answered your question, but could just say "Yes."

Same as over on BGG, SoB changed this to after increasing the max, you restore wounds and fatigue to full. I think this has been FAQed but not sure...

It has not. This is the relevant FAQ:

Q: When a hero’s maximum fatigue or wounds increases, either by means of Secret Master training or the Final Battle, do his current wounds and fatigue stay the same?
A: Any time a hero’s maximum wounds or fatigue increases, they gain a number of wounds and/or fatigue equal to the increase.

If they do FAQ it, I hope they wait a couple of weeks. We'll be in the final battle in our next session, and I'm overlord.
