Um... I thought I had. The interval = damage boxes in days.

So if you have 10 boxes of damage and natural body 4 with no other tweeks it will take you about 39 days to heal.

Its a body + body (damage boxes) extended test

10 boxes of damage: 4 body = 8 die -3 wound modifier = Dice pool 5 ~ 1.6 hits = 10 days to heal one box

9 boxes of damage: 4 body = 8 die -3 wound modifier = Dice pool 5 ~ 1.6 hits = 9 days to heal next box

8 boxes of damage: 4 body = 8 die -2 wound modifier = Dice pool 6 ~ 2 hits = 8 days to heal next 2 box

Advances in medical technology should be represented by die pool modifiers. I don't think medical tech should be accounted for in the base test. I can't assume my characters will have access to a doc.

I don't want to use the healing system in SR3 because... Well it's not SR4 mostly. It's a whole different rules mechanic. Despite my objections to this current version I'm not ready to quit or start throwing chunks of it away.

I'd argue that a -3 diepool modifier does not mean that the adventure is over. I see no reason that a player who screwed up and got his character hurt should only have to deal with that injury for a couple of days. I want to encourage thoughtfullness and good tactical play. (otherwize I'd play d20 something.)

Thanks for your comment.

So you did. That'll teach me not be posting when I should be asleep. I see it more clearly with your second explanation. Looks like it would work to me and be even more reason to have a mage with Heal along. Your right though about wounds being a way to teach characters to think things through and be more careful.

not everytime someone gets hurt did he/she screw up

Actually, your math is off by a bit. You do not apply wound modifiers to healing tests if you are doing natural healing, because you are simply resting. Wound modifiers are for strenous actions, where you wounds would get in the way. If you are lying in bed resting, your wounds aren't getting in the way of that.

With 10 boxes and a Body of 4 with an interval equal to the boxes in days per test then:

Test 1: Body + Body: 8 Dice= 2.4 Successes, let's just say two: After 10 days he is at 8 boxes

Test 2: 8 Dice= 2.4 Successes, this one will be 3: After 8 more days he is at 5 boxes

Test 3: Another 2.4 Successes, ok 2 again: Five more days, he is at 3 Boxes

Test 4: This time 3 successes: 3 more days and he is 0 boxes, fully healed.

So it should take approximately 26 days to heal 10 boxes (deadly) with a Body of 4.

I too am in favor of this method, as it is a bit more realistic. Also it shouldn't take this long in game to heal anyways, becasue with any sort of medical care along with the bed rest, as either the person resting could do a Medicine test on themselves (this includes situational mods and wound mods) to increase the number of healing dice they roll for their healing extended test by the nuber of hits they got on the Medicine test. Although Medicine can only be applied once, the hits from the test apply to all subsequent healing tests for that set of wounds. It can also be combined with magical healing and/or First Aid if they were applied. So really, though it would take about a month to heal a deadly wound if you just had bed rest, it will most likely take quite a bit less if you any medical procedures or anyone you know knows any medical procedures.

Were is the rule for this, please?

I am only aware of Damage Resistance Teats being exempt from wound penalties, and I'm interested in where you got that from.

only using part of the healing rules and then complain that the rules are broken (or whatever) is like personally removing the engine of a car and complaining to the maker that the car is broken...

If you look under the healing examples the wound modifers aren't factored in.
Just look at the stun example

Fatima, a mage, is jumped by Huanis goons
and badly beaten, sustaining 8 boxes of Stun damage
(ouch). She decides to rest for an hour at a nearby
friend’s telesma shop. Her player rolls 4 (Body) + 5
(Willpower), and gets three hits. Three boxes of Stun
damage are healed, leaving her with five yet to heal.
She’s not in the greatest shape, but she should be able to
stumble home to finish healing.

There should have been a -2 for wound modifers factored into the healing test but there wasn't.

It may be a houserule, but our group never takes wound modifiers into healing tests.

Read your own quote it says nearlly all tests execpt for resistence tests.
Not all tests execpt for..

Mine doesn't either. I always thought this was RAW...

So what are you supposed to do when your wound modifiers are greater than your dice pool? Suppose both your stun and physical tracks are filled in, giving you -6 modifiers, but you only have 3 will/body. Do you stay permanently injured until someone puts a bandaid on you?

Possible, yes.

It also isn't factored into the First Aid healing example either. I don't know exactly about the wound mods applying to everything except resistance tests (yes I looked up the section in the BBB) but I think it applies to all tests done in combat and any strenuos tests afterwards. It specifically says that a character applies wound mods if he is applying medicine to himself in the Medicine section, but that is the only instance I can see in the whole Healing section that references wound modifiers in the process of healing. I think that is the only time they actually apply in the process.

Hmmm... I think I should keep abreast of the rules. Are these 'accessories' to appear in Augmentation?

I think the time being referred to is the period in which the spell must be sustained before it becomes finalized, or permanent. There is some debate as to just when the actual effects of the Spell take place ... some say that the healing occurs as soon as the Spell is cast, while others claim that nothing actually happens until after the required time is spent sustaining it.

I am confused in general about how long it takes to sustain the spell so that it becomes permanent
