So, the medicine rune is slightly more useful in Suikoden IV because as long as you have medicine in your inventory it'll keep working? But it wouldn't use a Mega Medicine if you ran out of regular medicines, would it?
I really don't see the point of this rune, couldn't you just select medicine from your inventory on your turn, instead of having the rune do it automatically for you? Or does the rune's effects happen earlier in the round than when that character would normally get their turn or something?

The rune goes into effect whenever your ally goes down to 20% and it uses the lowest grade medicine you have in your inventory, so if you had nothing but Mega Medicine it would heal with Mega Medicine. This all happens without consuming a turn, but it's still pretty useless, IMO.
I hope everything is going delicious.

just to confirm...
In suikoden 4, the medicine rune uses lowest quality medicine from inventory.
It activates usually before your attack turn so i think you can do something else on your attack turn like heal another person.
If the whole party is critical, only one person gets healed. However, I don't know the level of priority. It's either lowest HP first or the first person in the formation/to act.

Strategy is the key to victory!

Re: (Suikoden) Medicine Rune question
Medicine Rune is most useless rune of all. IT makes Tuta one of worst stars. IT usess only Medicine or mega Medicine. IT waste turn ( so u could do the whole healing by ur own). Its sad that Konami did IT that way, if IT wouldnt take waste turn and could also use meals IT would be a very interesting choose. Heal+add status effekt. Also I tried to combine IT with Wall Rune, but sadly IT dosent work.

The Medicine Rune apparently also has the power to resurrect a thread that has been dead for ten years.

Re: (Suikoden) Medicine Rune question
speaking of resurrecting this thread, does "inventory" in Suikoden 2 and 3 mean your party's bag only or does it only check the character's equipped medicine or both (with priority to one over the other)? Is it compatible with food items?

Re: (Suikoden) Medicine Rune question
I would think it only checks the personal inventory and doesn't work on food. I don't have a save file handy to test it out, though. I'll try to get around to that, but it may take a while.
