The Dresden Files > DFRPG
What would u be?
glmagus:
Besides, the lack of a cleric type character makes the entire game a little more intersting. You actually have to focus on surviving rather than just waiting for your mates to get you resurrected.

It's not within the scope of human magic, at a minimum -- possibly because resculpting human flesh requires an atomic-level understanding of biology, or just that it's hard not to accidentally strip the muscle off of the bone. Whatever the case, there's just no foundation for it.

Personally I figure it has more to do with the knowledge involved. Wizards spend all their time learning Wizardry. They don't have time to learn to be doctors too. And in order to treat a wound, I would think that you would have to have, at the least, some pretty specific medical knowledge. D&D gets around this through Divine Intervention. Healing usually comes down to that in most games.

Are you sure you're thinking about the Dresden Files, Fred, and not Darkest Hours?

You may be right, Fineous, but my take on it, at least, is that it's one thing to be a doctor, and quite another thing to build parts of the human body from scratch.
There's a *reason* summoned demons are given bodies of ectoplasm. It's a lot easier, and you don't have to worry so much about getting the internal organs right.

HA! HA!
Yes, I meant EBENEZAR McCoy.
Good catch.
Last I checked, Ebenezar's pretty hairy, but not in a blue way. :)
