HP Drain (badge)

HP Drain is a badge in the Paper Mario series.

Paper Mario

In Paper Mario, HP Drain is one of the many badges Merlow sells to Mario for Star Pieces. This badge has a price of 15 Star Pieces. This badge costs 3 BP to wear and is a somewhat powerful yet terrible badge. For the price of a single point of attack, Mario can restore a point of HP every turn. This badge isn't that bad, but since Power Plus costs 6 BP you spend 10 BP to heal a point every turn. This badge isn't all that great and for its price, it should probably be purchased last.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In TTYD, HP Drain reappears. HP Drain is found in Rogueport, in the port. Mario cannot get this badge until after chapter 5, however. By using the boat panel at the port, Mario can find a secret area to the left of the actual port. It is here, there is a treasure chest containing this badge. This badge is better in this game, as Mario can have up to 99 BP. This badge only costs 1 BP to wear and is still quite powerful. Mario may lose a point in attack, but regains a point of HP every turn. This badge still isn't all that great since there aren't that many powerful enemies and Mario can easily have a lot of HP. This badge is helpful when Mario has run low on supplies though.
