But more seriously on the healing:
1- anyone can still take first aid.
2- what else are followers for? Bevera is the most obvious, but Heler works, and even Vinga has some patching up ability (by the way a follower with their main ability as "devotoee of Vinga" is probably the single most useful (if not abusive) word you can add to your description). A pet alynx with "lick wounds" works too. 3- You can have odd magical talents or items in your write up too. 4- With the nature of HW, things don't have to be quite as simple as "heal wounds." You can use animal healing abilities with a penalty (probably less of a penalty on a Storm Bully!) for example, or "invigorating rain" may help someone overcome a scratch or two, or you could even have "beer makes everything better" as an ability that you could draw on, etc.
5- In the absence of specific followers, you can probably use your community relationships to go home and find healing.

So no, not quite as easy as everyone taking healing 2, but it doesn't take TOO much to make sure the poor sods don't end up looking like they tangled with a Moulinex(TM).
