Greetings!
The rule that you cannot use the Heal skill on yourself has always bothered
me. Think of it this way: a guy gets injured in the woods, and needs to
heal and patch himself up. If this guy is a doctor, is he better off than
if he is just some random mook? I say "yes". However, I *do* agree that it
is easier to care for someone else than yourself. Therefore, I am thinking
that a -5 penalty for working on yourself would be reasonable (and, of
course, this counts as light activity, so you are not eligible for the "full
day's rest" healing). Opinions?
Note that this is especially important in Iron Heroes, where someone with
multiple Healing Lore feats can do quite a bit of patching up with a good
Heal check.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the Master of my fate:
I am the Captain of my soul.
