How does Healing/Death work in this game?

By Harlock2, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Are there healing classes in the game? How many times can they heal per combat. Are there items a character could get to heal himself?

Is there a damage dealing but also able to heal character build.

Do you heal Fractions of a persons health, like DND 4e, or do you heal a random number?

How does the dying process work? Is there a dying state, or is it that once you hit 0 hp, thats it. Is there a way to bring back a dead character?

How does combat flow? Do beefier characters try to soak up damage, while being healed by other characters, while damage dealing characters do their thing, or is it more dynamic than that.?

What im gatthering from session reports, is that characters typically just fight it out without healing, and then find a place to rest and heal wounds after.

Oh, to clarify my comment about being "totally fine" as long as you're conscious:

Just piling up wounds doesn't hamper you, but all critical wounds have negative effects they give to the character until the wound is healed. These are varied and random. For example, in the game I just started, only one character has a critical and it's fairly minor. I can't remember the exact name but it's scars on the character's face that gives a slight penalty to his Charm rolls and a slight boost to his Intimidate rolls.

Also, building up fatigue and stress can hurt your abilities, but these aren't directly related to injuries and death... Though now I'm wondering, if a character passes out from too much fatigue/stress, does that trigger the "compare crits to toughness and check for character death" rules?

I don't feel this question is worth another thread, but i also wanted to know if there is any site online where i can find a career list from this game. I want to see if any of the classes intrest my friends before i fork over the money

look at the minisite if you want some official informations.

In the support page you can get a list of component where you find every cards and stuffs, including Careers sheets. You may notice Careers aren't D&D classes... it's more a work than an archetype.
