[BNW] Healer - tricks

[Kirk Monsen <munchwolf@yahoo.com>]

Ok, I know I skipped gunners, but I can't think of any
tricks right now for them.

So onto healers... speaking of which, when I think of
healers I think of Elf Quest (the early years, back
before they got into that castle and started mucking
with time).  

Ranged healing:  (I know they said it was a contact
sport, and I can't think of any REAL reason why
someone would want to do a ranged healing because it's
12 rounds to do, but just gonna throw this atcha).  If
the player has this trick add a +2 to the difficulty
for each inch target is from player (make it +6 if
they don't have this trick).  So a target 5 inches
away (ten yards), maybe in another prison cell, gives
a +10 difficulty to a healing roll.  (I had originally
invisioned a +1 per inch, which makes more sense, but
realistically, how often do you need to spend a minute
healing someone 30 feet away from you? which would
have been a +5, a real easy roll for them).

Mental health:  Similar to healing diseases/poison,
this allows the healer to cure mental illnesses/brain
washing/stun/shock.  Not sure what the needed number
of successes would be, but I'd estimate 3 successes
per point of mental problem (but the target will still
need to spend eps to cure prob, maybe at a lesser
ammount, no free lunches here), or less so if the
mental prob was not given during character creation.

Quickheal:  Each extra success can remove a round (or
2, your call) from the time it takes to heal someone.

I know, they're all lame so far ... pretty vanillia. 
Well here's one thats different.

Plastic Surgery:  Yes, you heard me.  The healer can
manipulate the appearance of the target.  This would
be another case of needing various successes to
preform different tasks.  I doubt you could easily
remove the obvious trait from someone, but a mean
healer with a captive subject could GIVE someone the
obvious trait.  'So you're a flyer?  Well let's just
spend a few hours, stretch out the skin between your
hips and arms, and grow you some WINGS!'

Any other ideas?
