Description and lore
An examining hand follows the body's distress rather than the patient's frightened guesses.
Diagnose belongs beside clean water and an open medical satchel, where an answer can become practical care.
A healer's questions remain as important as the touch: where it began, how it hurts, and what changed.

Effect: Examine a touched living creature with Cunning, using TN 4 for ordinary uncertainty or the source's explicit concealment procedure. On success, identify an injury or bodily affliction and the ordinary treatment it requires. Concealed or unfamiliar causes retain their appropriate uncertainty; the GM states what the examination can establish. It restores no resource and removes no Condition or injury.
Living tissue reveals where something has gone wrong.
The healer's fingertips pause over the swelling; her questions become precise.
