Re: (TFT) Healing spells in TFT

Not that I've ever been really wounded, but I have had the occasional 
broken bone, etc. How about this:

Day of a wound: ST - (wound value).
Next day: DX - (wound value); ST - (wound value) + 1
Day after: DX - (wound valune); ST - (wound value) + 2
....
Day = (wound value): DX - (wound value); ST back to normal
Day = (wound value + 1): DX - (wound value) + 1
....
Day = (wound value * 2): back to normal

The first day, you are still limber, but "brittle" - more wounds kill you.
After that, you "stiffen up" and can't move very well. Your ST 
returns first, at 1 ST/day, so that you get less "brittle" fast - but 
you are still pretty combat-ineffective from the stiffness (bandages, 
etc) and reluctance to stress the wound area. Once the ST is 
recovered, you begin to limber back up to your original self.

This is somewhat of a departure from canon, in that it brings DX into 
the picture long-term (rather than short-term) as a reaction to 
injury, but the character is "healed" in the same period.

If I were using Healing potions with this, I'd say if they are drunk 
the first day, they just reduce (wound value) immediately. If they 
are drunk after the first day, they put the character ahead 2 days 
(each) on the ST-then-DX track he's following.
