Topic: Comas

[Steve_990]

Real quick question(s)...

How do you deal with Comas? What healing magic do you need to heal one? I looked in the RMC healing section (albeit quickly) last session I ran after a player was comatose from a dark bolt to the face and didn't see anything off the bat.

Is there a specific reference for dealing with this injuries in RMC/RM2?

Thanks!

Steve.

In RM2, there are two ways.
1) Have a masoch-Healer transfer the coma into himself, then cast Brain Repair,
2) Have a Lay Healer cast a Minor Brain Repair.

The latter explicitely mentions including recovery from coma, while the former is a more powerful version of the latter so should be able to do the same as well.

Exactly what I needed! Thanks!

Isn't it hard to cast spells if you're in a coma?

They're supposedly cast subconsciously, watch out for fighters who have lost arms though, healer casts the transference ways spell and the arms fall off. Does that give a no free hands penalty

Personally I've never liked the channeling healer as a class. OK perhaps for npcs but not reccommended by me for pcs.

I've always thought one needs to be quite masochist in order to become a Healer~

In one game the PCs didn't realise that one of their number was in a coma, they thought he had been turned into undead...so... they promptly through the unfortunate character on a pyre.
