Default Basic Healing vs. Psi Powers Healing

PC is a doctor -- currently has purchased healing (B59), as a psi power -- so 27 points. Looking at the psi power Cure (Psi 47).

As I see it the major differences are:

Cure requires direct skin-to-skin contact

Healing says "physical contact" -- I am assuming that thru clothes, latex gloves, is good enough.

Healing is an IQ roll

Cure requires a M/H skill

Anything else I'm missing?

Default Re: Basic Healing vs. Psi Powers Healing

Cure is subject to all the applicable rules in How Psi Works on p6-12 of Psionic Powers. Those are a more detailed set of rules for treating advantages as psionic powers than the Basic Set has; they aren't incompatible, but more work has been done to cut down the cost of Cure.
