Shadowdragon Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Can an application of first aid heal more hit points than the wound inflicted in damage? Say a character gets hit but only takes 1 point of damage. If the wound is treated with first aid, can only 1 hit point be recovered, or could the healer get a critical success and heal 4-6 hit points?

vagabond Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Each First Aid attempt affects a single wound. So, in this case, the most HP restored via First Aid is 1 HP. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wound is treated with first aid, can only 1 hit point be recovered, or could the healer get a critical success and heal 4-6 hit points? Technically, each wound must be treated separately, and can only be healed up to the damage of that particular wound. Realistically, this is how it should work, too. If a PC takes 3 wounds, they will theoretically be in three different places (even three wounds to the same hit location will still be in different parts of that hit location, such as wrist, bicep, and elbow on an 'arm' hit). So, if a PC has just fought a Dire Mafia Bruiser Vine in the jungles, and someone critically heals the broken knuckles from his hand wound, they still need to roll separately to heal the Columbian Necktie wound that the vine also gave him and get his feet out of that concrete-like sap it spewed. That's assuming you play by the rules (which the Dire Mafia Bruiser Vine probably didn't).

This is absolutely correct. Wounds should be tracked separately and First Aid applied individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
