Thanks.  But...I checked out the appropriate spot:

http://www.peginc.com/DeadLand/Errata/BNWmain.html

And didn't see anything in reference to healing.  Nor is there anything in 
the accumulated rulings.

Could you reiterate?

I suspect the intent was that they get one Wound each success, _not_ one 
Wound per body locatin per success.  However, we can't find anything to 
confirm that, in the rules or the errata.

Also as far as the bit below about successes can't be used for several 
things...so how does this mean the normal healing rules work vis a vis the 
Scrapper's Fast Healer?

It seems like best case, the Fast Healer is going to get one Wound per extra 
success.  But...aren't the normal Wounds going to give one Wound per 
success?  Either they "double up" (which contradicts the below) or the 
healing rules are something other than we understand them to be.

All clarification helpful.  Needless to say, Healing (and/or the Scrapper's 
ability) to some degree go to the heart of the combat rules and the Powr 
Package of the Scrapper.

Thanks,

Steve
