Healing stun damage is a body + willpower extended test, with a duration of 1 hour. I assume this is against no threshhold, the way it is worded. This means that an average person will end up being able to fully recover their stun in about 5 hours, which I am fine with.

What I do not agree with (or perhaps simply do not understand), is that the same thing occurs with physical damage. It is a body x 2 extended with a duration of 1 day. Again, it specifies no threshhold. By my estimation, someone who has been shot to the brink of death can fully recover after just 5 days of bedrest, with no medical attention.

My personal feeling is to make the threshhold on the physical damage test against the number of boxes they have. This would cause minor injury to go away easily and quickly, but heavy damage would require medical attention to see any improvement at all.

Let me know if there's an authoritive answer to this question.
