    It should guarantee at least 1 stack per healing action. If you don't get a skill check for a heal it should give you a stack when it's finished. Maybe throw in some extra healing bloodpoints when you hit a skill check, maybe.

    Flat heal rate instead.

    Description: “The greatest ability at your disposal is your ability to expand your knowledge.”

    You start the trial with -60% healing speed. No Great skill check zone.

    Succeeding at skill checks while healing grant tokens up to 6.

    For each token, increase healing speed by 15/20/25%.

    At max tokens, skill checks reward a bonus 15/20/25% progress.

    By making the perk a game of flat values that increase over time and generate great prosperity after a few checks - it can become far more consistent to use without becoming broken. The downfalls of the original lie in how impractical and unwieldy it was at early stages - which was bad enough to become a liability in many cases. The effects of this perk at -60 | -35 | -10 | +15 | +40 | +65 | +90. The 25% additional progress on skill checks is a nice reward to compliment the 90% buff to all healing, which can fix up many injuries in a matter of seconds - lightning quick if paired with other perks. While the opening may sport a crushingly low healing modifier - the rewards of sticking to the craft in spite of the greatly diminished returns makes for quite the arc. Instead of gaining a glut of progress out of seemingly nowhere - the perk begins consistently horrible and becomes extremely useful once it is fully realized.
