On healing automata:
We will be clarifying things in the next edition of the rulebook. Right now, though, we will say the following.
Automata should call 'No Effect' to effects with the poison, disease, and/or medicine traits. Surgery and First Aid will have the 'by Medicine' trait. Healing provided by Second Wind and the like will have no traits, and will therefor work on Automata.
I apologize sincerely for the delay in getting this post out.
