PAHTH--The Healers
The House of Pahth is the house of healers in the Lessi Courts. The Pahth can help reattach the limbs of Shapeshifters (in particular; also regular limbs of non-shapeshifters) and they are also the house which trains the body into having sub-brains and hearts and other organs. Their medical knowledge is phenomenal.
The more knowledge and trainings in other houses, the better the healing (or harming) of them. (It's fine to heal poison damage, but without the knowledge of Crow to stop the poison from spreading, it might still be in there..)
Levels of Healing
- Basic Healing {10 points}
- Now, most any shapeshifter worth his skin can slide tissue together to stop the bleeding, but take your average sword wound; there's serious tissue damage there, possibly nerve damage, plus all sorts of circulatory wonders to work, and prevention of disease organisms whittling their way into your body...a mess, right? Somehow, even human bodies can figure out how to put it back together. This process is even faster in shapeshifters, whose systems are a lot more malleable...but if you're Pahth, for a mere 10 points introduction into the House, you can make such sort of healing on the spot. It's limited to your own system; you heal quickly, and have a basic understanding of how things work.
- Intermediate Healing {25 points}
- At twenty-five points, you KNOW what needs to go where, and why. If anything, you can just add points to do awesome acts of regeneration, anything from nerve damage, to bizarre shapeshifted diseases, to healing the non-shifters. Handy, eh? Speeding natural processes, stimulating blood production, enhancing the immune system to help against disease or toxins. Limbs grow back (if slowly, say a couple days) before your eyes, and you can do basic organshiftings. (Nothing too complex; brain, eyes, and most parts of the nervous system are still beyond you, but you can rework your circulatory system, reconnect muscles for different purposes, perhaps smooth out your joints for faster reflexes.
- Advanced Healing {40 points}
- At forty points you can do things even a Lessi's system wouldn't be able to shake off (no matter how eventually.) Includes throwing off toxins that would easily overcome one's system without help (without having to have Crow, even) regenerating limbs in the matter of minutes (and unlike at 25 points, this won't leave the patient's system starving) and can do complicated organ shiftings.
- Additional Healings {65 points}
- At sixty-five points, the Pahth-trained individual can virtually put together a body from parts, though that's really more a Revivicant training (those Pahth who have gone so far as to try to put life into dead beings) and even identify and help reconstruct shapeshifters from having died by being affected by things like cuisinarts.
