So, because I was curious...I rolled up a commoner and got 25 Sta and spent a long time in rats 0 stanced:

>heal
Your body feels extremely beat up.
Your spirit feels full of life.
You have some minor abrasions to the head, some minor abrasions to the neck, a severely swollen and deeply bruised right arm compounded by deep slashes across the right arm, a severely swollen and deeply bruised left arm compounded by a broken left arm with gaping holes, a severely swollen and deeply bruised right leg compounded by deep cuts across the right leg, a severely swollen and deeply bruised left leg compounded by deep slashes across the left leg, some minor abrasions to the right hand, some tiny scratches to the left hand, severely swollen and bruised chest area compounded by deep slashes across the chest area, minor swelling and bruising in the abdomen compounded by cuts and bruises about the abdomen, some tiny scratches to the back, some minor abrasions to the right eye, some minor abrasions to the left eye.

Bleeding
Area Rate

---

right arm light
left arm moderate
right leg slight
left leg light
chest moderate
inside r. arm slight
inside l. arm slight
inside r. leg slight
inside l. leg slight
inside chest light

My empath would chuckle at that, heal her chest, cast refresh, staunch, and go to town, a roisen, tops to heal the person.

Went into the hospital and after some confusion, joined the list, the Martyr was going for the bleeds, but not really great, and I found out that demeanor might have something? (It's been literally 2+ RL years since I actually used the hospital, usually when I pass through I just pray nothing bleeds through and I get it taken and have a debt and lost bleed).

>join list
You sign your name on the waiting list.
>
Martyr Saedelthorp looks towards you, and you pull away.
[Change your DEMEANOR if you wish Martyr Saedelthorp to heal you.]
>
The apprentice Kaiva looks towards you, and you pull away.
[Change your DEMEANOR if you wish the apprentice Kaiva to heal you.]
Kaiva calls out, "(Trash Commoner)?" before crossing it off the list.
>demeanor

(various heals from the Marty before rejoining the list)

All went well, it seemed, until...

>heal
Your body feels in extremely bad shape!...
Your vitality is restored by Kaiva's healing touch.
>heal
Your body feels in bad shape.

yawn


And the final insult...

The apprentice Kaiva quickly diagnoses your injuries.
Your vitality is restored by Kaiva's healing touch.
[Your debt to Zoluren has been increased by 150 Kronars.]
>

Your vitality is restored by Kaiva's healing touch.
[Your debt to Zoluren has been increased by 97 Kronars.]
Kaiva crosses your name off the waiting list.
>heal
Your body feels at full strength.
Your spirit feels full of life.
You have some minor abrasions to the head, a few nearly invisible scars along the neck, minor scarring along the right arm, an occasional twitching in the left arm, some minor abrasions to the right leg, minor scarring along the left leg, some minor abrasions to the right hand, some tiny scars across the left hand, minor scarring along the chest area, minor scarring along the abdomen, some tiny scars across the back, some minor abrasions to the right eye, some minor abrasions to the left eye.
>join list
You sign your name on the waiting list.
>
The apprentice Kaiva quickly diagnoses your injuries.
The apprentice Kaiva sighs, "You have no injuries that I can heal."
Kaiva crosses your name off the waiting list.


And how much did this cost me?
You owe 6062 copper Kronars to the Principality of Zoluren.
And before?
You owe 2065 copper Kronars to the Principality of Zoluren.


And how long? I took off the demeanor 4:58 before I was taken off the list list the first time the healing was done, and rejoined the list for non-bleeding healing about 1:30 into the healing when it seemed rather slow, even for NPC Healers, so roughly 3.5 minutes to heal:

You have some minor abrasions to the head, some minor abrasions to the neck, cuts and bruises about the right arm, minor swelling and bruising around the left arm, some minor abrasions to the right leg, a severely swollen and deeply bruised left leg compounded by deep slashes across the left leg, some minor abrasions to the right hand, some tiny scratches to the left hand, deep slashes across the chest area, minor swelling and bruising in the abdomen compounded by cuts and bruises about the abdomen, some tiny scratches to the back, some minor abrasions to the right eye, some minor abrasions to the left eye.

I dunno, 3.5 minutes and 4 gold for an pretty incomplete heal, I just don't see why people go for it.

>>Try the test on Dokt out in Knife Clan, I'd be interested to see those results as well. Personally in Plat, an empath is a luxury at times, so my general cleanups are usually done with him until I can forage all the various herbs myself. I was told the day I stepped in over here that the auto-paths in the Guild were pretty much useless, and you're more likely to die than be saved.

My warmie spent over a plat in fines on the healer in haven when he had disease. Barely survived and still needed a pc empath after that.

>>He heals pretty much everything except for the smallest scars and disease

That's the problem. With disease you keep losing vitality and wounds get worse until the herbs and empath combined can make it go dormant. And then you find a PC to heal you or avoid combat like the... well plague.

dormant disease will still work on small wounds, even those not visible, and scars as well. if you're not totally clean, your disease will eventually come back

And i forgot:

6) NPC empaths will not heal scarring that they did not heal the fresh wound of. So if you have a severely mangled chest from a death, and go to the empath, they will tell you that you are fully healed. Only way to get around this is to have someone challenge you, they blow out your chest, and drag you into the empath. You'll get a vitality healing, then the wound healing, then the scar healing. When no empath is around, this is always an option.

Renegade Empath Raudhan just arrived.

A cutthroat gasps, "I can't get UP!"

You begin to lecture Reexa on the proper use of the brawling skill.
You cackle!
You strike a heroic pose.

> who's side are you on anyway Raudie?

I'm all about never healing again.

I noticed the Crossing NPC healers were buggy, also. They're freaking out over demeanor that they shouldn't even freak out over. Trying to heal someone who isn't even injured. Definitely needs fixing.
