Since I don't have the charts here, might I ask for a clarification?  Why a 
Medicine TN of 23?  Just off the top of my head, the only way it seems like 
it can get that high is if those Arm wound penalties you mention are 
cumulative.  Is that how it is handled according to the basic rules? Or is 
there some kind of penalty based at amount of negative Wind you're at?  I 
don't recall right off hand...

Thanks for the clarification.
