Final battle wounds restored for heroes?

By Dexnus, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi,

When the heroes face the Avatar and their maximum wounds are increased will they restore the wounds to their maximum?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I wouldn't infer that the heroes wounds are restored to maximum just because the maximum went up. Not unless it also says that it restores wounds lost. However, since heroes start with wound tokens equal to their max and lose them as they get hurt, I would infer that the heroes will "gain" wound tokens equal to the amount of additional wounds they just gained. So a hero that was down one wound from his original max will still be down one wound from his new max, but he won't get that one wound back without healing it with some effect at his disposal.

That's how I'd run it anyway.

How Steve-O said he'd do it is how the FAQ says to do it. There is no rule that says they heal to full, but any time a hero's maximum wounds increase they gain that many tokens.
