Good point! If only I had thought of these questions when I went to a signing last year.

True. Me too! Though if I had a slightly worse broken arm than broke leg, it would certainly be a consideration as to whether I would heal the leg first and so have less difficulty with mobility in the short and long term. Of course that would depend on if I would have any healing left at all for the arm.... hmmmmmm.

You're right RShara, there is more in BoM I forgot. This is the bit I think: "Sensation— and agony— flooded back into him as his metal-mind healed his spine, focusing on the worst wounds first." He then heals legs, shoulder and toes are mentioned as well. From the phrasing it's not clear if this is a concious choice or not. I like your idea, Belzedar, that a very experienced bloodmaker could overrule this: perhaps preferring to heal a lesser wound on the face say, purely for cosmetic reasons over something slightly more serious.

Hi, I've been rereading Alloy of Law and it has made me think: I hace been looking through past posts and WoB but there is just so much there! So please feel free to redirect me if this is answered elsewhere. We know a bloodmaker can choose the rate at which they heal, but can they choose which wounds to heal? If they had a broken leg and a shallow cut could they choose to just heal the leg, or would both heal at the same rate? What if they had a broken arm and a broken leg - could they differentiate between two injuries of the same type? Any thoughts?
