You can only ever heal one level of Trauma per month.
However, there is the possibility that you might get more than one Healing Test per month.
As a quick review, the way you heal Trauma is as follows:
You must heal during the downtime. If you have Mortal Trauma, you *cannot* heal yourself. You *need* someone else to take a Rehabilitation Action on your behalf. Otherwise, you can attempt a Rehabilitation:Self Action.
REHABILITATE SELF
If you use the Profession "Artist" at Dedicated, you get a re-roll on your Healing Test. For Surface and Severe Trauma, the Difficulty scale is as follows*:
- Achieving Low Difficulty (2) on your Rehabilitation Action during downtime means you get to make a Healing Test at High (8) Difficulty.
- Achieveing Moderate Difficulty (5) on your Rehabilitation Action during downtime means you get to make a Healing Test at Moderate (5) Difficulty.
- Achieving High Difficulty (8) on your Rehabilitation Action during downtime means you get to make a Healing Test at Low (2) Difficulty.
- Achieving Epic Difficulty (15) on your Rehabilitation Action means you automatically heal a Surface or Severe Wound.
In Providence, I have been asking people to make their Healing Tests at the game with me before game play begins. That is not written in the book; it is my preference as a Storyguide.
**Reminder: It is your responsibility as a player to keep track of your own Trauma.**REHABILITATE OTHER
If someone takes a Rehabilitation action on your behalf (they would take a Rehabilitation:Other action), the same Rehab Test/Healing Test scale applies, *and* the person taking the Rehabilitation:Other action can use Techniques (like Absolution and Confession, which give you up to 3 Inspirations on your Healing Test) as well as the profession "Therapist" at Dedicated (which gives you a re-roll on the Healing test).
**Anyone can attempt a Rehabilitate:Other action.** There is no prerequisite to attempting a Rehabilitation action.
AID
You can provide Aid to someone who is attempting a Rehabilitate:Self action, however, you cannot use the Therapist profession or Techniques to give them re-rolls or Inspirations. Basically, Aid is like, as Trent says, giving someone bus fare and sending them on their way to the clinic. Rehabilitation:Other is more like actually sitting down with them and helping them with their porblems.
You can provide Aid to someone who is attempting to Rehabilitate *you*, as well. That basically means you're *allowing* someone to help you. You might not be doing as much as you *could* (if you were also doing a Rehabilitate:Self action, as well, say), but you're at least participating. [Note: when you have Mortal Trauma, you cannot Aid a Rehabilitation action.]
HEALING TESTOnce you have achieved (or once someone has achieved on your behalf) at least one Difficulty Level in the downtime system using Rehabilitation, you can make a Healing Test. If you have taken a Rehabilitation:Self action *and* someone has taken a Rehabilitation:You action on your behalf, you will be able to make two Healing Tests (at the Difficulties listed above; the inverse of the Difficulty achieved on the Rehabilitation Action).
*HEALING TEST FOR MORTAL TRAUMAIf you are attempting to heal Mortal Trauma, the Difficulty scale is as follows:
- If Low Difficulty (2) is achieved on the Rehabilitation action, the Healing Test is performed at a High (8) Difficulty.
- If Medium Difficulty (5) is achieved on the Rehabilitation action, the Healing Test is performed at Low Medium (5) Difficulty.
- IF High (8) or Epic (15) Difficulties are achieved on the Rehabilitation action, the Healing Test is performed at Low (2) Difficulty.
The basic difference with healing Mortal Trauma is that you never 'automatically' heal Trauma, whereas with Surface and Severe Trauma, once you hit 15 Marks on your Rehabilitation Actions, you automatically heal your Trauma.
