Patient arrives, 95% Vital loss, scars and fresh on every part of their body. You clean them up, no problem, and more than willing to do it for free (as it IS the main way to gain experiance so you can better serve in the future).

Patient gives you 40 copper kronars, and says they would love to tip you more, but have no more coins.

A Friend skulking the shadows surveys this this patient and learns they are infact packing a load large enuff to to open their own bank.

It is professionally unethical to ask friend to liberate a few extra coins?

Mind you, The Empath heals for free, and does not mind at all not being Tipped. She does, however mind being lied to.

Just an openion poll.

When I charge for healing I usually handle critical patients by healing their deadly wounds and informing them that I charge X number of kronars to fully heal them. Most likely you can expect righteous indignation, a fair amount of yelling, being told you are a horrible Empath and perhaps a slap or two in response.

Good luck :)

Hey!

I never said suck em dry, I just pointed out that what ever you do, be prepared for the consequences of the actions.

<< I've almost given up on trying to charge. I make enough hunting >>

My empath definately agrees, she loves hunting - personally, the thief hates it, casue everyhting she hunts runs from him, so he caint even teach evasion, but only skulk the shadows making sure she stays safe ... but she earns more from joining a group of hunters and huntreseses <--- gah, that's difficult ... than sitting in the guild.

heh, th poor girl has like mid to upper 40s in defences, and she aint but 13 circles - she's runnin neck in neck with the average barbarian (smirk)

>Evil plan forming in my mind...

You don't fool us.

We all know those evil plans spring fully formed and garbed for battle after breaking through your skull.

Hmm....in this case, I'd say a small amount of revenge was in order. Whether you have the friend liberate those coins, or you just refuse to heal the liar later in life would be up to you. But it might be going a little too far to actually HURT the guy just for being a greedy, lying, punk....wouldn't it?? Hmmm <ponders>

I have to say, I HATE healing someone standing on the doormat of death and not even hear Thankyou come from their lips. HEaling for free is fine. Charging up front is no big deal, I'll heal the poor and nearly dead. BUt you'd best at least say Thank you, and I'm sorry I cannot afford to tip you. Or even an herb will satisfy me... but DO NOT just walk away, or that friend lurking in the shadows may prove to be a very useful friend...
