Oh not good. Half expecing Tadashi to show up and give you a reprimand for lack of proper decency.

Please refrain from overly sexual implications and show appropriate respect to Holy Sisters.

They aren't real.

In short, you're railing against human nature.

True enough. But I don't have to condone it, do I?

Regardless, I find it very offensive to view others, real or not, as mere sex symbols. Admiration is fine - I wouldn't mind having a Holy Sister as a friend or a confidante - but a sex slave or 'friends with benefits'? Gak to that.

Sex symbols can also be positive though. There are many recorded cases of pretty nurses in military hospitals brightening the day of the wounded and helping them heal, hence my original statement.

Dont they also have hospitals for IG with mental problems from duty?

Yori wrote:Well the FFG's Dark Heresy haves a psychic discipline known as biomancy (the shaping and manipulating of flesh) that can not only heal but regrow limbs (obviously won't work for a lost head), who needs doctors when you can regrow your limbs, expunge acid and poison and survive vacuum. Though considering the rarity of individuals with their psychic gift advanced to that level and the ant psyker nature of some of the Imperium's citizens I doubt that we will be seeing a psyker hospital.

Psienesis wrote:Biomancy seems like a cure-all for any DH party, so in our games, I make sure that the person receiving said healing is rather *quite* aware of the caress of the Warp on their injured flesh while receiving such healing. This has caused some characters to have a "only if I'm going to die immediately" clause with the psyker, resulting in many of them making-do with whatever mundane medical care they can receive.

I've also, for balance reasons, established a house rule that once a character receives psychic healing, he cannot benefit from further psychic healing until he/she is again wounded. So if a guy takes 20 points of damage in a battle, leaving him with 3 remaining Wounds, and is healed by the biomancer for 10 points, he has 13 Wounds remaining until he again takes damage, and the psyker can start again. This prevents the psyker from just completely using the power fettered (no risk of Perils of the Warp) until he's completely healed everyone in the party after every bar-brawl.

It's also human nature to murder people you don't like. Shall I get the gun? Misogyny really shouldn't have any place here, and excusing it as "human nature" is just pathetic. For the most part we don't obey "human nature" by your definition of it, we're better than that-- civilized, rather than animalistic.

Saying someone is attractive or even sexy is fine, but making it so that this is the only thing that you see about them is highly disrespectful and disgraceful to yourself.

Psienesis wrote:Depends entirely on where you live and how much money you have. If you're an up-Hive grand poobah, the hospital you go to is high-tech and extremely nice. If you live in the underhive? You find a corner to die in. There is no hospital. And people will collect your corpse to sell it to the AdMech (or someone else) for use as servitor stock, organ harvesting, or rendering into corpse-starch.

Yeah, when I read about them, the first thing I though was that is there are no male Doctors in the IG. Field medics sure, but they just stabilize you for transport to the closest M*A*S*H (Mobile Adepta Sororitas Hospital) where the sisters there perform surgery, tend to you in recovery, then send you back to the battle.

I think this is yet another one of those people in power armor stepping in to take all the glory sorta thing while the lowly Munitorium docs just suck it up and work in the administritum run hospitals while the ecclechariachy paint the most murals thus get all the credit.

Which would look better? some bleary eyed guy with a beard from lack of shaving for the past few days tending triage/inpatient care (think guy from scrubs) or some power armored possibly depicted with a halo sister tending to you for a picture on the recruiting poster???
