[Rq-rules] Re: Heal and xenoheal

Actually I meant what is the direct effect from Healing; ie how many
days would they age per point of healing or how much would it take to
gain a whole year to their EA?

No bookkeeping problems.  As mentioned, there is an EA
(effective age) on the character sheet which indicates
how much older the character is than their
chronological age.  Birthdate is a terciary
characteristic (rolled or chosen separately - rolled
in this case, modified by how long they took to gain
journeyman status in their trade and thus graduate
from apprenticeship).  It is also on the character
sheet.

Most PCs will either die in action or retire from
adventuring before the critical ages set in (50 or 60
for humans) - one is more likely to damage primary
(rolled) characteristics from injury or disease than
aging.  But it is there just the same, and too
frequent use of Healing will get it relevant a whole
lot faster!
