Also, that hour figure is a bit misleading because that's for a Maimed Wound 
- and a lot of the times Maimed = Dead so it's a moot point. The chart 
doesn't follow a straight progression, so 1/5th the number of wounds doesn't 
take 1/5th the amount of time as a Maimed Wound.  Healing 1 Wound takes a 
lot less time than 1/5th of 60 = 12 minutes.

We discussed this last night, and with the exception of wound penalties, it 
struck us as somewhat of a moot point. How often does a Syker who knows what 
he's doing (i.e., took 5d10-12 in Blastin' at the very least) have to worry 
about failing _any_ such roll?  The TNs for most of the stuff are in the 5-7 
range.  It just doesn't seem that with the exception of Fleshknit (because 
of the wound penalties) Sykers are failing their rolls that often...
