[Rq-rules] Re: Heal and xenoheal

[Den, Tony T]

Ay caramba! I didn't pick that point up when I scanned the Mythworld
rules, but wha a concept! Gonna suggest it in my RQ group, although we
for the mstv keep the magic low, bordering on zero, so magic healing
usually comes out in dire emergency only.

In Mythworld, we found the best way to rein in abuse of the Healing
spell was to add another item to the character sheet: Effective Age.
Since Healing is essentially just a more rapid version of natural
healing, have the character age at the same rate as if the healing took
the normal time span.  

Since there are penalties for growing old (after various ages, STR, CON,
INT, DEX, etc. must be rolled or there will be a drop in those primary
characteristics as well as the secondary ones derived from them), too
much use of Healing (or Xenohealing) will invoke these penalties at an
earlier chronological age.

It is amazing how many characters decide to leave injuries to normal
healing rather than magic, with a shorter lifespan in the balance.
