Jane Williams wants to know what use healers are as player characters.
Ummm. The answer is not much. Apart from Ressurection their only unique
ability that's likely to be of much use is the Sleep spell. And that
puts limits on the other characters' actions. A healer could be a useful
diplomat for parties that are interested in talking. The garb of the
White Lady's cult is distinctive enough and respected by enough people
that you can send the Healer ahead to talk to the unfriendly strangers
in reasonable safety. Develop your Oratory and Fast Talk skills!
But by and large I've got to say that Healers make better NPCs than PCs.

As to whether you have to have heard of the Chaos God involved to be
vision saying: "Hey! You look like our kind of fella! See your nearest
priest for details: I'm sending him a dream about you!" they won't reach
out and grab you the way the Chaots do.
affected I dunno. But I don't believe that there is a culture anywhere
on Glorantha where acts of evil are without risk of unpleasant spiritual
and physical consequences. Certainly a Brithini can't do any of those
things without breaking his caste rules and risking Death.
