I'd say an Unrelated Contest would be required to heal yourself (or raise AP). Both your Wound penalty and the healing penalty (possibly the Wounds again) would apply. My problem is healing other people during melee, as I still require touch range. Grabbing someone during a melee can be hazardous to the health...

When it's sensible, as a resistance. Otherwise, my intention is to use it as a penalty, based on -1 per 10 points (a very severe augmentation roll).

The rules do state augmentation of any type requires an action, but I'd allow things like Strong (the Hero Band example) or Agile to be given a 'free' action before the contest begins, even if there's technically no time. However, if you don't like the result, it requires an Unrelated Action DURING a contest to change the augment.

It could be a unique item, depends how powerful you want it to be. Otherwise I'd say an augment.
