That doesn't really make sense, with the way that healing works. There
_could_ be some special check to see if healing is 100 in the tower, but
I doubt it... the healing skill has a random chance to heal you every
turn, (HealingSkill / 1200) IIRC. So 99 healing isn't much different
than 100 healing. (This is quite different from concentration, which
actually has more checks depending on the level of concentration -
having 100 concentration is literally 4 times better than having only
74. Having 100 is ~25% better than having 99.)
'Stacking' is a bit vague, so to clarify it basically means you'll have
another chance with the same success/failure rate. So those numbers are
correct (for the example 10%, I'm not sure of the specifics here) -
you'll have 2 90% chances which equals a 99% chance.
Btw, go look at my corpse effects post if you want the specifics for
what corpses give what, although the specific questions have already
been mostly covered here.
