While 5th Edition healing is admittedly WAY fast.

I'll take it over the old 1st table that was like 10 days for a "Light" wound or a month or more for a Medium one, IIRC.

Wait, I know Resting is a limited extended test so you got 1 die less each roll, but injury penalties on recovery? Is that really the case?
We are wondering the same thing in my group as well. Is resting an Extended test or does "is handled as an Extended Test" mean you roll successes up to full healing, but don't loose dice. The example on p. 207 (right hand side box) suggests so.

Quote from: Core Book, page 170
Wound modifiers are applied to all tests not about reducing the number of boxes you’re about to take on your Condition Monitor (such as damage resistance, resisting direct combat spells, toxin resistance, and so on).

I believe the wound modifiers do apply to natural healing tests.  Which is good, since the game needs to be more dangerous, in my opinion.

Well, that might be true. But then the example on p. 207 is wrong. Not that this would surprise me.

I will say this though: most of the tests that can add wound modifiers actually state that you subtract the wound modifiers from the test.  That's not the case with either of the natural healing tests.  So I'd say that wound modifiers do apply, but I'd be totally comfortable with this not being true.  Since the rules came from different sections, it's possible (even likely) that the contradiction was unintentional.  Perhaps there was an omission of text in the rule that I cited.
