Doesn't faith healing typically deal with illnesses such as cancer or 
heart disease, or handicaps such as disabled limbs, mental illness, 
infertility (and impotence, for males), and other disfiguring conditions?

The most commonly available healing spell in RQ is the Spirit Magic 
spell Healing, which is most useful in combat situations (and learned by 
the majority of all PCs I've ever seen). Even faith healers typically 
can't stick an amputated limb back on, especially in the middle of 
combat. Most PCs will go to a specialist for other types of cures.
