Oh yeah, the debate isn't whether he GETS the effect, just how much it would affect him.
The thing is, IS the "healed wound" applied? The book says can't go above your max wounds, so it's discarded, not applied and THEN discarded. It can't be applied because there's nothing to apply it TO, see?
The wyrd thing is, the book says wounds healed count back up, then "healed" wounds above the max are discarded. How can you count up something that's not there?
This is the dilemma : )
The question of the hour hehehe...
This is what I'm getting at, and I totally see the other interpretation, but you can't apply a heal to a wound that's not there!
Did you not read my original post? I absolutely included the full txt of BOTH abilities : )
I'm also surprised it's not come up sooner.
I've also highlighted and broke out sentence by sentence the quoted book bit about healing in your quote above.
I disagree because the book seemingly contradicts itself. Everyone FOR the heal is looking at the last sentence in your quoted paragraph, while the two before it says you can't do that. And therein lies the issue. I tend to agree based on just the last sentence, because of the wording. It's the two before it that bother me. Taken together, it seemingly says "Heal counts up, then hits max, so the rest are discarded" which equals, at full health, a heal of ZERO, since healing renews wounds, and at full, we're adding zero. My opinion is that it clearly says that you are not allowed to add wounds where you can't. So even though the heal ability is +1, I feel that that one gets chucked at full health, effectively not counting.
If we look at just the last sentence, the Regen is passed from the first model, who hasn't healed one because there's none to heal, and so the second model does the same thing, again bringing us to ZERO. Whether he gets the ability shared to him isn't the debate, it's the amount passed in the effect.
Thanks for the feedback you guys!!! Keep it coming!

That's where I'm having the issue - this sentence seemingly contradicts the two before it. How can you apply a heal to a wound that's not there? I feel it's a syntax issue.

BTW, ultimately I just had the players flip for it and we went on with the game : )

ONE MORE THING, JACKIIIIIEEEEE!
Page 52 of the manual, for what it's worth, defines damage as WOUNDS REDUCED.
