critical damage effetcts

By Rex Tauron, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

hi

just a simple question.

one of my fellow acolyte got burn and suffred a critical hit of 7 on his body.

now it says that you lose half your toughness but is that permanently? because on energy critical hit 8 (body) it says that you lose half your fellow ship permantly but it does not say permantly on the toughness? cause it could just be temporary and he would regain one toughness per hour.

If it doesn't say permanant it is only temporary damage.

yeah thats what i thought too but i wasn't sure thx

I'm sure the healing section mentions healing characteristic damage (sorry i don't have the book with me) so it can't be always be permanent.
