Actually, it did occur to me overnight that the whole wound penalty thing 
(which several people mentioned yesterday, so I'm not trying to pick on just 
one person :) ) is, again, a little misleading.

_Any_ healer-type with wounds is going to take wound penalties for healing 
someone else, right? A Templar or Doomsayer with a Critical Wound is going 
to be -4 on any Faith rolls he makes to heal other folks, right?

So it's not that Sykers have to take wound penalties that other healer-types 
don't - it's just that they are always assured of having a Wound penalty 
when trying to heal themselves.

For Templar and Doomsayers and Spirit Warriors (oh my!), they could have -4 
wounds and have a hard time healing themselves (if applicable), _and_ a 
dozen of people with just one wound.

Hmmm...so what does it all mean? Heck if I know, but again if I understand 
things correctly, the penalties a Syker takes for healing himself are no 
worse than a Templar or a Doomsayer, is it?  So it doesn't seem quite 
accurate to cite wound penalties as a weakness of Fleshknit compared to 
other healing types.

I think the question originally raised was more What Penalties does 
Fleshknit have that the other stuff _doesn't_?  Stuff like Templar healing 
can be used an infinite number of times per day (although one per person), 
and stuff like that.
