[Rq-rules] Re: Heal and xenoheal

[Bjorn Stolen]

I just wanted to say that I liked this one very much, and will impose it on 
my players next time we play RQ (hehe) I'll allso start using the 
heal-species-thing; that spirits that are likely to heal plants won't like 
to heal Mostali/dwarves, and vice versa. This way, a human closely related 
to/worshipper of Aldrya or a pantheon closely related to/friendly towards 
aldrya could be healed by an aldryami and vice versa. The same thing should 
go for divine-spells; not likely that Yelm would heal an UZ... As for 
Sourcery, one can easily say that the physical mechanisms operating in a 
Mostali is so fundamentally different from a homid/UZ/aldryami, that it 
takes separate healing-sourcery.
