Heal Skill Unlock question

Okay, Heal Skill unlock from pathfinder unchained affects the Treat Deadly Wounds option. Normal treating of Deadly wounds is healing 1 HP per level of the creature.

5 ranks Treat Deadly Wounds is treated as 8 hours longterm care (heals 2 HP per level of the creature and 2 ability damage points). 10 ranks is a full day of longterm care (heals 4 HP per level of the creature and 4 ability damage points.

Normal treating of deadly wounds also heals your wisdom bonus if you succeed by 5 or more. Longterm care options do not include this language.

Am I correct in thinking that taking skill unlocks in Heal will prevent me from gaining my Wisdom bonus to Treat Deadly Wounds checks that succeed by 5 or more? Doesn't matter as much at 5th or 10th level, but it is an annoying loss.


it is not treated as, its just when you use that skill the creature is also healed as if it had rested, so you do your heal amount by treat deadly wounds + wis if you beat the dc by 5 and then the creature is also healed as if it has rested for a full day.

that's what i see it does
