Hi there, I don't know what's the official position regarding this, but i think the text is pretty clear: "This Discipline can be used to restore ENDURANCE points lost in combat. If you possess this skill you may restore 1 ENDURANCEpoint to your total for every numbered section of the book you pass through in which you are not involved in combat. (This is only to be used after your ENDURANCE has fallen below its original level.) Remember that your ENDURANCE cannot rise above its original level. If you choose this skill write ‘Healing: +1 ENDURANCE point for each section without combat’ on your Action Chart<file:///C:/Users/Guga%20Figueiredo/Documents/Documentos/RPG/all-books/en/xhtml/lw/01fftd/action.htm> ." The part about the lost EP in Combat is a short description. A quick way for the newcomers to grasp what the Discipline does. it says it CAN be used for combat injuries, but it does not describes any restrictions to any other EP loss. It is followed by what the rules states: "If you possess this skill you may restore 1 ENDURANCE point for every numbered section of the book you pass through in which you are not involved in combat. Remember that your ENDURANCE cannot rise above its original level." Basicaly, if you dont fight you heal. And since the rules state that you restore said EP when you 'pass through' a numbered section, this Disciplines effect is the last thing to do in any section without any numbers of combat rounds in it. This means it does not prevent any damage from hunger, falls, poison, or whatever else may injure LW, it just heals 1 EP at the end of the section. About meals especificaly, there is in Book 1 such a thing as Laumspur Meal, which can be consumed at any time to recover 3 EP, or when pompted for a Meal, in which case it also fulfills the Meal riquerements, preventing the EP loss in addition to restoring 3 previously lost EP.
