The healer only heals once you've promised a favour

>The healer only heals once you've promised a favour

How would you play a healer favour-collector?

Depends. If I got a large and influential church to back me up, you're basically a wandering priest, and as long as you behave reasonably and do not ask for anything absurd, you'll be fine.

If you're solo, you're basically a witch, and better be careful. Isolated healers have a bad tendency to get blamed for shit.

Anyway I can see this working in a sort of religion/system where the itinerant healers are forbidden from accepting currency or payment for their work, so they ask for "favours", which really amount to food and lodging.

Back-Alley Doctor

Back-alley dickings.

Back alley plague doctor. His name is Richard, but his patients call him 'Dickings'.

So Chalana Aroi cultists from Glorantha...

Boy i was not expecting to see poxnora art when i hopped onto Veeky Forums today

Rape until she changes her mind
>healcucks think they're hot shit

I already did you a favor by keeping your bitch ass alive.

I wouldn't, a party that has to negotiate before every action would have 6 hour combat rounds

>"Excuse ME, mister orc, we are negotiating high stakes magieconomical issues, you can wait to swing that axe until we're done!"
>"Stoopid oomies been talking fifteen minutes already. Should lose turn, let Grug kill."
>"Talking is a free action, mister orc. Sit quietly until we're done."
>"Stoopid umies. Grug should've bring Grug phone."

I would point out that being in an adventuring party and dealing with monsters, tasks, quests, duties et cetera et cetera is a reciprocal arrangement wherein all equally carry the burden of the whole groups survival, and that none would survive the situations we find ourselves in without the assistance of the others.

Or, for the tl;dr crowd; stop being such a fucking moron you dipshit. You're here to do a fucking job so fucking do it or fuck off.

Sorry OP, but it is a stupid idea without any merit.

>Healer is actually a slave to some high level wizard type
>The use of her abilities is only for the profit of the wizard

Close your legs, bitch, you're stinking up the joint.

The bloody godless peasants are putting enough coppers in the collection plate, so some higher up make you tag along with a bunch of bloody godless adventurers to keep the Church afloat.
I'd play a Mormon on their Mission, except this soldier in the army of Pelor's a lot less enthusiastic about it.

The fighter only fights once he has gotten a favor.
The negotiator only negotiates once he's been granted a favor.
The mage only casts spells once he has gotten a favor.

Do you realize how much of a selfish idiot you are now, you foolish fool, foolishly thinking of fooling others into doing things for free?

Healer loan sharks.

Healer loan shark mobsters.

I'd team up with someone who could cause disease. Travel through a region visiting every city, town, village and hamlet. Get bards singing my praises, set up businesses with interest free long term 'loans' use favours to get contracts. Have a steady supply of young women be available for the use of me & my associates. Marry into local nobility, use my powers to gain position. Secede become King afteer sending my agents to destabilise the original kingdom. Look into Lichehood to rule in perpetuity.

>How would you play a healer favour-collector?
I wouldn't
>How would you play with a healer favour-collector?
Stop tanking orc DPT until they realize how stupid they are or die

>my favour is not letting this ogre kill us all, how's that for a favour you insipid cunt?

One of our players already tried doing that in Only War game and that resulted in everyone else bullying him into healing them for free anyway (otherwise he was promised to be ditched alone during the next Ork assault).

A healer that tries to get some extra cherries on their top will soon find out that the front line warriors were doing them a favor by killing monsters for them

Is this a party healer or an NPC healer in town?
If the former, I'd just hold back when they get in the shit and tell them that saving them will cost a favour.
Hopefully they'll get the message.

If the latter, treat them as some sort of shady back alley doctor

As a GM tho, I'll make the negociation take a turn. They can negociate the favor as much as they want, it'll cost them one movement and one attack each.
Depending on the RNG and the situation, one turn is enough for a TPK, or a party crippling that can result in a TPK. But if one fighter needs healing, chances are the party's sailing upwind
If the party survives they'll explain themselves to the rest of the group.

you wouldn't happen to be on my discord, would you.
that middle one is awfully familiar.

He uses a similar mask as a condom

>the fighter only kills enemies once promised a favor
>the mage only casts fireballs once promised a favor
>the rogue only disarms traps once promised a favor

>It's a renaissance Italian Doctor/Healer who realized the best use of his craft is healing murderhobos in the local adventuring guild in exchange for favours for things such as rare items, free transport, protection when on the field, and such.

You had a chance to say 'European missionary in Africa/Asia/America,' but you messed it up.

>wait till the party is in deep shit and withhold the very thing you are in the party for for extra shit.
good way to get yourself abandoned in the middle of a fight.

and the exusecond of it costing you money so you should get compensation is shit too, you know what the purpose of money is? to improve the parties chances of survival, that is why money is important, for weapons, for gear, and for spell components, just because doing your job doesn't dirrectly benefit you does not mean you should be paid for it, you are getting the same loot as every one else.

>I'd just hold back when they get in the shit and tell them that saving them will cost a favor.
do you want to get left 1v1 with a pissed troll? because thats how that happens

if you can withhold your only useful function so can the rest of them

But that's a completely different scenario and you should feel bad for trying to shoehorn it into my post.

what if that's the favour she was planning on asking for?

I could not find a link in english, but the story is basically this: Brazil is suffering an outbreak of yellow fever. Criminals from a favela went to a hospital, kidnapped nurses with vaccines to immunize the gang members and people from their (very dangerous) neighborhood.

So I would say that your healer will need two things: luck and an heavily armed escort.

>gets slashed across the stomach
>innards almost spilling out
>tries to rape healer but ends up literally killing himself
Nice

>the healer isn't getting raped by fat ugly monsters
Uhhh, guys?

>healing causes enormous amounts of pain from the reknitting flesh and regrowing bone and cartilage
>healers can amplify good sensations the user feels and usually use this to amplify the pleasure of an orgasm to drown out the pain from the healing
>if you don't want to be a healslut you end up doing front line combat next to people who can't really afford to pass on your healing regardless of how painful it is because the alternative is death. Or join a pain cult.

Dare you enter my magical realm?

FUTURE OF AMERICAN MEDICINE.

Desperate cat-and-mouse against the world as everyone you think you've got one up on tries to renege.

The Status Quo of American Medicine.

Please note that American emergencies and hospitals use the Caduceus of HerMercury, the patron of merchants, for medical services, unlike the Rod of Asclepius used elsewhere.

A witch who gets guinea pigs for her experiments by making deals with adventurers to keep them alive.

Eventually swings from being an anti scoial, bitter person to being at least someone capable and perhaps gaining a few real friends. Still a bit of a sour cunt, but less so.
