Definitely on the mark there Moriarty.
However, they would still be at critical or near death if you healed them out. I have healed myself out "a few times" and everytime I did I was at the same HPs I had before I did it. However, even during gang wars I believe the person still needs to be at serious before you can hit them again. Correct?
However, as far as the objections go as toward gang wars and/or muggings you can have it so that if somebody from your gang hits the person that you just healed out you only get one other attack there and next time you have to wait until the time is up or somebody else outside your gang or gang family heals them. Probably would be better as gang family or ally.
Which brings up another idea......
Since this is a gang idea with ideas for allies I guess a new thread is needed.
