an unfortunate occurrence indeed

Background: in Pathfinder undead characters can't be healed by normal healing spells, instead they take damage

Was thinking about Divinity Original Sin 2. Undeads heal with poison and take damage from healing
- Yep. I messed Fane up good that way.
  
  I'm currently replaying it. Here Fane, chug a potion, that'll fix you rig... OH NO
Aw man, the issues with positive and negative energies :)
You mean like in every RPG since the 80's?
- Except for RuneScape, Elder Scrolls, MAID, RAW DnD (multiple editions), Vampire the Masquerade, GURPS, and many more. Its a trope that I think originated from Warcraft (really unsure about that answer). But not really many RPGs do that according to their rules explicitly.
  
  It started in D&D 2.0 for certain, might have been in 1.0 but I don't remember. That predates Warcraft by a few months....
  
  Also that's the way it worked in 3.0 D&D. You had to cast "Cause [Intensity level] Wounds" to heal Undead. I dunno about 4th, but my friends that play 5th run it that way.
  
  It's in every jrpg since the NES
- Okay, old man
That one Final Fantasy boss fight that you can one hit kill with a healing potion tho was badass.
- If you're referring to Everae Altana (sp?) It took 2 phoenix downs to kill him the easy way. Dude was a slog any other way.
  
  Final Fantasy X is the specific game.
  
  The Phantom Train, which IIRC was in part 6, died in a single phoenix down.
You when the:

Ogre battle comes to mind!

I was so happy when I was finally able to BEFRIEND a ghost in the Pogrom forest .... only for a healer to accidentally kill ........

- I recently started focusing a bit more on CRPG games, so this stuff is fairly new to me.
  
  I can't remember how often I tried to walk somewhere with my character mid-fight, only to be beaten to a pulp, because I forgot attacks of opportunity.
  
  It more than once made me laugh at my stupidity, I absolutely love it
