How to make a sheet public..


The Expect Infirmary says
Infirmary. You can heal people, and have the space for one or two to recuperate. The Keeper will tell you how long any patient’s recovery is likely to take, and if you need extra supplies or help.

Based on the video, each player has to do that. Up to each player if their character sheet is ok to be seen by others by adding to their library (symbol between pencil and x in your all characters page)

The game keeps the infirmary vague on purpose. When the game says you heal, it normally says how much harm you heal, but this says "you can heal people", so the amount is up to the keeper. However, the game wants things to be scary and be full of risk, so I know it can't mean "you heal all harm each night" or else that would mean monsters have to be able to kill you in any fight or else you'll just leave and heal up. It also uses the word "recuperate", which is tied to recovering from illness or exertion (physical or mental effort).

I'm leaning towards ruling that it means the infirmary is a place to have wounds no longer be unstable and that is primarily the benefit. The rules for healing say "Serious wounds (4+ harm) require treatment....What counts as treatment depends on the wound, but it will usually be one of the following:
• A hunter’s healing move.
• Time in an infirmary in someone’s haven.
• A visit to a doctor or emergency room.
• A magic spell.
Healing moves will mention how many harm they heal."

Since the infirmary haven is mentioned, this tells me it was intended to be a way to make wounds stable again without needing to go to a public hospital.

The main reason I was asking about Healing was when ever we heal I was thinking of taking The Divine move Lay on Hands

Lay On Hands: Your touch can heal injury and disease. When you lay your hands on someone hurt, roll +Cool. On a 10+, heal 2 harm or an illness, plus they’re stabilized. On a 7-9, you can heal the harm or illness as on a 10+, but you take it into yourself. On a miss, your aura causes them extra harm.


Was also looking at From Chosen Invincible: You always count as having 2-armour. This doesn’t stack with other protection.

it's up to you. You can take those with a level up if you desire. You'll get 2 experience when you resolve the mystery, so if you get at least 3 experience from failing you'll level up at least when you kill the monster

Use Magic
When you use magic, say what you’re trying to achieve and how you do the spell, then roll +Weird.
On a 10+, the magic works without issues: choose your effect.
On a 7-9, it works imperfectly: choose your effect and a glitch.
The Keeper will decide what effect the glitch has.
Advanced: On a 12+ the Keeper will offer you some added benefit.
Effects
• Inflict harm (1-harm ignore armour magic obvious).
• Enchant a weapon. It gets +1 harm and +magic.
• Do one thing that is beyond human limitations.
• Bar a place or portal to a specific person or a type of creature.
• Trap a specific person, minion, or monster.
• Banish a spirit or curse from the person, object, or place it inhabits.
• Summon a monster into the world.
• Communicate with something that you do not share a language with.
• Observe another place or time.
• Heal 1-harm from an injury, or cure a disease, or neutralize a poison.


Could I use Magic to Cure the Venom from the Spiders?


(Sorry not trying to be a pain. Just looking at different MotW sheets and trying to learn some more.)

it says "or neutralize a poison" so at the risk of hurting yourself yes

As far as glitches, doing that would likely go as follows:
• The effect is weakened = the poison is not neutralized, but the poison is not as potent as before
• The effect is of short duration = the poison will return in a short amount of time
• You take 1-harm ignore-armour = this is the default when no other glitch makes sense or the player would not want a different glitch
• The magic draws immediate, unwelcome attention = depends on the situation, perhaps an evil spirit shows up
• It has a problematic side effect = the poison is transferred to you, or your darkside kicks in

Just a heads up: I'll try to remain active, but my wife is getting induced for our first kid tomorrow and the process starts tonight, so I can't promise i'll be available much before weekends end, but i'm taking 2 weeks off of work so after we get back home it shouldn't be too hard to post at least once or so per day.

Congratulations! I wish you both luck that it is an easy delivery and everything works out just fine. Take what time you need!

Congratulations to you and your wife! Best wishes to both of you. @Ironmonger42

Good luck.
Kids are great but stressful.
Be there for your wife and actively encourage her during labor. My wife is still upset with me 2 years later that all I was doing was rubbing her back and not telling her she is doing great.
Everything will be great! Enjoy your time and your sleep when you can.

Thank you all! I'll try to be as encouraging as i can haha

Everything ok? I haven't seen any posting since the 17th. Are you all waiting on me? The last post was Margaret asking a question to Seth and or Ajay

Oh! I was waiting for you.

Yeah. Same. I was waiting to give you some time to figure out everything coming home with a newborn can be stressful.

Everything go good? Wife and Baby Healthy?
How are you handling it so far?

Baby was born on the 20th. She's healthy and happy as far as we can tell. Main thing is learning how to get sleep while feeding her 2 or 3 or even 4 times in the middle of the night. We try to stick to a schedule and use alarms, but then sometimes she want to eat again just 1 hour later and we have to figure out if it is just sleeping noises or genuine hunger.

Finding sleep can be rough, but it is doable. Some people say that napping when they nap is not possible, but if you even sneak one nap in while they sleep during the day it is a big help. I wish you luck that they sleep well once the feedings start to slow.

It can be very rough on your wife. With all the breastfeed, nursing and pumping.
She will be up a lot.
We had bottles premade of milk in the fridge and would warm them up at night.
She would pump and I would feed our son some nights just to make it easier.

Congratulations! This seems really stressful but I wish you and your wife the best wishes and I am sure you will be able get through this fine.

We keep a few bottles in our room that have distilled water in them and pre-portioned formula so we can mix it as she needs. For the day, we have it pre mix and refrigerated and we use a bottle warmer. My wife is trying to pump when she can. For now we are tag teaming night feeding but eventually my wife will do most of the night feeding on nights I have to go into the office the next day so I am not sleepy at the wheel getting to work

I'll continue once Ajay has said what he is bringing with him out of the van
