03-23-07, 01:25 PM Since it isn't mentioned, I'd say no, you just fail.

Though if you use critical failure rules for skills, you could say you cause damage in the manner you suggested. Or say that if you fail by 5 or more, you deal (10 - roll result) damage.

Does a Heal of less then 15 make a Human lose hps?

03-23-07, 02:26 PM IS8: A Heal check does not restore hp. A Craft check made to repair warforged restores a number of hp equal to the check -15. Hence the question.

03-24-07, 02:44 AM IS8: A Heal check does not restore hp. A Craft check made to repair warforged restores a number of hp equal to the check -15. Hence the question.

And the answer for these things is that unless an ability outright says it can switch from positive to negative like this, it doesn't. It floors at zero.

By RAW, it doesn't.
By my personal preferences, it doesn't either, because I thoroughly detest critical failure rules.
