Or simply remove the Chalice. It has other uses, but overwhelmingly it's for tarts.
Edit: As Soyweiser says, disease (and old age) would be much less of a problem.

GoH isn't as much of a problem, since it's visible and easier to get rid of.

Then you could balance around them not being healed.

Either approach could work. I'm a little weirded out by the idea of non-unique Chalice, but mechanically it should work.


Reducing Shattered Soul doesn't change the fundamental problem as I see it. Anymore than changing the cost does. The problem is that Tarts are overwhelmingly better for whoever can heal them than for those who can't. The loss of GoR makes it worse.
