Bonus for applications of emergency aid or treatment (limited to a type of creature), such as attempts to halt or slow bleeding. A character with this skill can stop up to 5 points per round of bleeding without resorting to a tourniquet. Used normally in the field without the benefits of a proper medical facility or elaborate equipment.
First Aid to stop bleeding takes one round and a successful skill roll.
First Aid roll is (INT + KNOW - 30) x 1.5. Each rank of Anatomy skill also improves the First Aid roll by 2.
First Aid must be administered within 1 hour of when the damage was sustained and can only be done once for a given amount of damage.
First Aid to restore hit points takes 5 minutes. Compare the result to the following table.
| Healing Success Table |
| Roll | Result |
| Absolute Success | Heals 1.5 times amount rolled (round up) |
| Success | See Healing Table by Rank below |
| Near Success | Heals .75 times amount rolled (round up) |
| Partial Success | Heals .5 times amount rolled (round up) |
| Failure | Wound bound but no hit points healed. |
