City Doctor

By Pengy, in Talisman Rules Questions

Hi everyone, fighting over semantics with my fellow players, we need a statement on the following question for the City Doctor:

I argue that for every gold I pay I can heal two lives up to my max life value, any amount of times as long as I have gold. So I can heal 4 lives for 2 gold in the same turn.

My friend argue that you must pay 1 gold for 1 life, just like in the Village, but can heal no more than 2 lives. So he means that you can't heal more than 2 lives per turn at the City Doctor, at the cost of 2 gold.

Well, if you read what's written on the spaces, there's absolutely nothing to argue. City Doctor can heal up to 2 lives per visit, Village Healer can heal up to your starting value. Only cost is the same, 1 Gold per Life.

This may be a 4E vs. 4ER thing. The 4E board doesn't have the words "per visit" on it.

It says "DOCTOR: He will heal up to 2 Lives at the cost of 1 Gold Coin each."

I agree, even on the 4E board, it should be interpreted as 2 lives per visit.
