Just a Flesh Wound

Question: Do Resilience and Life-Giving Rays work together on the same subject? I can see why Life-Giving Rays wouldn't work with most Health Boons, but the two of them just speed up the healing process...

Yes, indeed, they do! While Life-Giving Rays only affects natural healing rate and can't double the healing you receive from magical sources like Regeneration or Heal, it doesn't interfere with Resilience, which also merely bolsters your natural healing speed. Someone with both Resilience and Life-Giving Rays in effect is healing at four times her normal healing rate; someone with those and a Body Geas can basically watch her wounds close in real-time.

Basically, if someone has to spend Legend to heal you, then Life-Giving Rays won't help that, but if you're healing just by resting, it always helps, even if something else is also boosting your recovery.

  1. I feel like Life-Giving Rays should have some cool synthesis with Greenskin, but I'm not sure what.

    1. That... is a good point. I think I'd definitely let someone with Greenskin stunt sucking up nourishment from bright enough Sun boons, at the very least.
