[Stunball]

I was looking through the main book and have come across many questions regarding healing in the shadows.

1) Page 242 says First aid may not be applied to a target who has been magically healed.
*Is this also reverse in that a you can't heal a wound already treated with first aid?
I would think so to limit only one success to box effect on wounded guys.
*If not is there a game balance reason for this?
with both methods employed you get (Spellcasting + magic + first aid + logic + obligatory Medkit 6) die pool of healing. Thats massive.
*Are people intended to just bounce back like that?
*Why is this simply an order of operations limiter?
If they were both intended to work together most would use first aid first anyway because healing magic has higher drain if you do it first.

2) Why does the best medical technology possible in 2070 (its as good at healing as Shaq is at basketball) man portable, as available as a 40oz, and only cost 600 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ?
*When a single BP can get you eight why are there rules for 1-5?
*Why are there no acknowledgments to non portable technology in the cost of hospital stays?
As best as I can tell in 2070 hospitals are just rooms with abed and a medkit in them.

3)If I have no skill in first aid and a medkit my pool is (Logic -1) + Medkit 6 and my max wounds healed is 6
If I have 1 skill in first aid and no medkit my pool is logic + skill 1 - 3 for no tools and my max wounds healed is 1
*If I have 1 skill in first aid and a medkit my pool is logic + skill 1 + medkit 6 is my max wounds healed 1 or 6?

4) *What are the prices of narcotics on page 248?
*Are they found anywhere?
*Do you have price recommendations?

Thank you for your responces.
