Magic Loss + Suppressing Crashed IC, Now where did I put those.... Options

[Mugzy]

Hey all,

After running a session recently, I went back to look for a couple of rules I thought were in the system, but I could not find in the 4e BBB!

First, was checking for magic loss due to application of a stim patch, or massive damage. In the past, Stim patches and such were of near kryptonite quality to magicians in terms of proximity. Since the change in how Magic as an attribute works (i.e. no longer an auto-6 for awakened characters, it's bought like any other attribute), I can see the rules about Magic Loss going the way of the dodo. The Healing rules still refer to the difficulty in healing an awakened character though. Is this the only hold over?

Second, a couple of sessions ago, the team's hacker was detected by some IC, and defeated it in cybercombat. In the older rules, he would have to suppress the IC in order to avoid triggering an alert, but doing so progressively makes his life more miserable (with TN modifiers back in the day for each IC suppressed). Are there rules for suppression still, or does the IC just trigger an alert automatically?

I guess a third would be healing times. They seem awfully short. Someone shot only takes a couple of days to fully recover, especially if they edged their healing roll. Guess theres something to say about "Troll Regeneration" when a 9 body troll can fully recover from being practically hamburger in a week or less. The optional rules in the beginning of the book can address this (limit edge refresh, etc). Any other advice on this one? Maybe I'm just enamored with the grittier, more lethal game style.
