Skarg's post made me think. Here's what the text of Aid says (ITL 18):
Quote:
to cast it. Lasts 2 turns.
If ST is given to another figure (for instance, to allow
another wizard to cast a spell with a very high ST cost),
that ST must be used within 2 turns, or it is lost.

Look, I'm a philosopher and logician by training, so I'm probably overthinking things, but the use of the verb "used" implies intention. One uses up an Aid ST reserve by intentional actions. Receiving damage isn't intentional, whereas casting spells is. So, if we take the meaning of the words seriously, we have a reason for treating damage different than fatigue.
Also, sorry if I misrepresented you, Skarg. If I understand correctly, the 2 fatigue from berserk is, in your opinion, a debt taken whenever one goes berserk. If he goes berserk, receives Aid and comes out while the Aid is in effect, you don't count that as using up Aid ST because the debt was there before the spell was cast. Or something.
No doubt I'm overthinking things. I ain't never had a player cast Aid ever.
