That's exactly how I take it; You get 'Bad Conditions' for one lifestlye
lower (ie. +2 Tno), and '_real-bad_(?) modifiers for two or more lifestyles
lower.

I don't get you, where's the problem?


three healing situations
i) You're at home by yourself - you get +2 'not in a hosital', along with
extra mods for poor lifestyle (NB. only one of these - the worst -
applies, and that includes not in a hospital, you don't get +6 for
trying to heal in a slum, just +4
ii) You're outside hospital with a 'docotr' coming to get you:- you
get the modifiers above, but your bonuses for stats now DO apply
iii) You're in hospital, it all applies.


OH! I get it; you mean that line about modifiers from the docotring
table not applying if you're healing at home.

That's got to be a mistake and should be replaced with 'beneficial
modifiers from the doctoring table do not apply when healing without
a docotr, all penalties DO apply'.

Or something like that.

PS. Which is exactly how I play it: You haven't GM'd till you've seen
a giant troll samurai sitting in a hospital waiting (for good
conditions) room and recovering from a Serious wound in 19 hours odd.
