As many people as can get around it can help (more if you have ropes, etc.). But trying to treat a wound? I think 8 people clustered around the patient all "helping" would do more harm than help, unless they all had the healing skill. In this case I would allow ONE untrained person to attempt to aid another (or more if the players can give a good justification... "I'm directing, Vexxor is keeping the bandages clean, and Darlona is feedint the patient the herbal medicine...).Diplomacy and other social interactions are one of those sticky areas where I really want to limit aid another. I'm used to seeing it like this:Player 1: "I bluff the guard to let us through."Player 2: "I aid another!"Player 3: "Me too!"Player 4: "Me three!"All these people leaping in all of a sudden with actions would not help. Had they planned beforehand, I'd let them help ("Let's bluff the guard with the old "Stormtroopers and captured wookie" routine; Vexxor and I will disguise ourselves as guards, you two can be our prisoners...")</blockquote>
