the number of times i have had to tell folks its a total waste of
time sustaining healing spells during combat.. sigh. There is
absolutely no point picking up a +2 to your target numbers for
something almost guarateed not to come off during the combat.
Note that, 'while chasing the bad guys' but not actually shooting
(etc) is a very good time to get rid of M wounds. If you want to get
rid of modifiers but are short on time use the pain resistance
spells, see GR2, as you only get 1 shot at actually curing folks and
its all wasted if you spell is not sustained all the way 'eg if the
recipient dives out of view during the time cause 5 more bad guys
came round the corner'.
