Treat Injury

This allows a Character to help heal another Characters wounds, fight off a sickness, keep someone from dying, perform a simple surgery, defeat the effects of a poison. A Character cannot normally use Treat Injury on themselves.

The outcome of some of these checks are dependent on the Skill Rank Level. So this means that this skill is Rank Dependent.

Check

The DC and effect depend on the task attempted.

Restore Hit Points (DC 15)

With a Medical Kit or a First Aid Kit, the Character can attempt too restore someones Hit Points. A successful check, as a full-round action, restores Hit points by using the target's HD(Hit Die) + Skill Bonus(Wisdom + Misc Mod). The number of Die rolled is dependent on the Skill Rank Level, a Hit Die equal to 1/3 the Skill Rank Level round up. The Character receiving treatment roles the Hit Die. The number restored can never exceed the character’s full normal total of hit points.

For ever 5 the Character beats the DC of 15 by the Character gets to roll an additional 1HD with a max bonus of +3 additional die. If the Character rolls a Natural 20 then the Hit Points restored is the total of all the HD as if they rolled max each time.

Recover from Dazed, Stunned, or Unconscious Character (DC 15)

With a First Aid Kit, the character can remove the Shaken condition or any other condition under it (Ie: Dazed and Stunned) or an Unconscious but stable character. This check is a full round action.

Stabilize Dying Character (DC 20)

With a Medical Kit (Or first aid kit), another Character will need to assist the dying Character by attempting to stabilize them. This requires a check of DC 20 and a full round action.

If successful the dying Character now has 1 HP (Hit Point) and is no longer unstable or dying. However they are still unconscious. After 1 hour and ever hour after the Character can attempt to make a CON check of DC10 to regain conscious. After 8 hours they can wake up without a check with one day worth of natural healing.

If the stabilize check fails however different things may happen. If the failure is a natural 1 the unconscious Character receives 1d4 of CON damage. Otherwise the Character remain unstable. Once 'stable' again the Character does not instantly gain back there lost Constitution.

Surgery (DC 20)

Requires both a Surgery Kit and at least 2 Ranks in the Treat Injury Skill.

With a Surgery Kit, a character can conduct field surgery. Surgeries can be used to remove Conditions, Difficulties, some Diseases, some Poisons. It can also be used to add Mutant Powers, Cybernetic Implants (with the use of Cybernetic Surgery Feat), or implant/hide something inside of some other biological person or creature. It can also be used in conjunction with the Study skill to preform an autopsy person or animal for investigative reasons.

Surgery requires 1d4 hours; if the patient has Con damage, add an additional hour for every point of Con damage the patient has. Surgery can only be used successfully on a character once in a 24-hour period. A character who undergoes surgery is fatigued for 24 hours, minus 2 hours for every point above the DC the surgeon achieves. The period of fatigue can never be reduced below 6 hours in this fashion.

The Surgery feat removed the disadvantage penalty except for working on alien animals, while the Xenomedic feat negates the penalty for only alien animals.

Treat Disease (DC 15)

A character can tend to a character infected with a treatable disease. Every time the diseased character makes a saving throw against disease effects (after the initial contamination), the treating character first makes a Treat Injury check to help the diseased character fend off secondary damage. This activity takes 10 minutes. If the treating character’s check succeeds, the treating character provides a bonus on the diseased character’s saving throw equal to his or her ranks in this skill.

Treat Poison (DC 15)

A character can tend to a poisoned character. When a poisoned character makes a saving throw against a poison’s secondary effect, the treating character first makes a Treat Injury check as their standard action. If the treating character’s check succeeds, the character provides a bonus on the poisoned character’s saving throw equal to his or her ranks in this skill.

This check provokes and attack of opportunity. If a critical failure happens this also causes an attack of opportunity on the target.

Long/Short Term Care (DC 15)

Normally a Character will slowly gain back there Hit Points and Ability damage so long as they are not sick. If someone helps provide care while they attempt to 'rest up' this process goes quicker.

The Long/Shirt Term Care action can only be used once per 24 hours which includes rest.

If someone is providing Long/Short term care then the patient heals Hit Points equal too the number of Hit Die equal to 1/2 (round up) character level + Con Mod. Instead of the normal 1/4 there character level (round up). For more information review the Natural Healing.

The same goes for Ability Points recovery. If the Character doing the care beats a DC of 20 they can also assist in Ability Damage recovery. If successful the Character regains +1d4 in as much as 3 different Ability scores. If a critical success (Natural 20) is rolled the Character gains a +4 in as much as 3 different Ability scores.

If the Character is still sick they gain an advantage bonus to shacking the sickness. Double advantage if the Character assisting beats a DC of 25.
