While this just goes back to the "How many extra pages are you folks willing to pay for so they can shoehorn all the detailed explanations in?" thing, yeah. I wound up having some chalktalks with some of my medical profession friends to get a notion where they thought the difficulty levels should be.


And for my part, the scale is crocked. The reason the "common cold" is so difficult to defeat is that it's a basket of viruses; there are any number of bacterial infections which should be far easier to fix. The disease component of the Healing advantage shouldn't be linked to how onerous or obvious the symptoms are.
