   True.  The situations you describe there is a very
good chance that damage will occur that turn or the
next.  Note this assumes that the wizard has a higher
adj DX than the person dealing the damage to your 
friend.

   Of course if the fighter friend you were boosting 
had several enemies yet to go your strategy is even
more likely to help.

Yes.  It says on the Aid spell that the ST given lasts
2 turns.  So if you were damaged it would 'help' for
10 seconds then vanish.  

When I explicitly distinguished between ST and fST, it
seemed a natural understanding that Aid gives fST and
not hit points (which would only last for two turns
anyway).

Now if GM's wanted to make the IQ 9 Aid spell more 
powerful they could say that magically, any damage taken 
off would always come from the Aided (f)ST first, and 
not from your regular hit points.  So many of my wizard 
PC's take Aid that I've never felt the need to make it 
more attractive.
