Every player is different, and I ultimately allow others to decide whether or not something scars, but once again, the older the wound and the more severe the injury, the more likely I think something would scar.
This might be slightly off-topic, but I've been thinking about the issue of scars. My character has almost none, in spite of the fact that she's lived an intermittently dangerous life since reaching adulthood. I like the idea of healing magic as an aid to physical healing, but not as a perfect quick fix. As such, you'd expect someone who has been wounded to have scars, even if they were tended to by a healer. But I was wondering if a healer might be able to work on her own injuries over time, applying healing spells not merely at the beginning, but throughout her whole recovery process, so as to minimize or eliminate scarring. Plausible?
Absolutely. We can't define if healing is accelerated regenerative processes or simply rebuilding flesh as if it was never wounded. It's literally magic.
