The paladin’s “lay on hands” on a 7-9 you transfer the damage to yourself. So if you roll a three on a d8 for healing you take three damage. But the hospitaller move you add +1d8 of healing to the “lay on hands” move. So if you heal 16 damage on someone do you take 16 damage if it’s transferred to you? Or just one of d8s?

All the damage I think
I’d think just the first d8, cause the second is a separate ability triggered by the first…at least, that’s how I’d run it.
“Transferring the damage to yourself” means you take all the damage that you healed.
If they were stabbed by a goblin, now you’re stabbed by a goblin. Enjoy.
All the damage, IMO
That’s what thought, that you would transfer it all. Thanks for the input guys.
Ask the Paladin how it works and figure it out based on the fiction. Don’t decide based just on the rules. This is a story game not a wargame!
While I agree Johnstone Metzger that DW is a story game and the fiction is more important the rules are there for a reason. But I did not think of asking the Paladin how it works and I will consider this if the Paladin chooses this move in the future.
“Ask the player how they’d like it to work” works better when the choices are roughly equal, not when 1 is much better for the player than the other.
What we did when we had a Paladin and Cleric in the same party was have the Paladin Lay on Hands on everyone, and then the Cleric healed the Paladin of any damage he’d taken on.
All the damage.
Okay that settles it, thanks Adam Koebel
