[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 8936644, member: 907"] If you're actually playing out the healing mini-game, it can be pretty tedious, particularly at levels where hit points have gotten away from the medic's ability to actually succeed at Medicine rolls. If/when I run PF2 again, I'll do one of two things (or possibly both): [LIST] [*]Do away with the Treat Injury check. If you're trained, you can spend 10 minutes to heal 2d8 points, no check needed. If you're an Expert, that goes up to 2d8+10, and so on (this would only apply to Treat Injury, not things like Battle Medicine). [*]Use the optional Stamina rules from the GMG.
