This skill is identical to First Aid skill except that it can be used on any mammals without penalty. It can be used on other animals (besides mammals) with which the healer is familiar (e.g., beastmaster animal category or a lore roll for a specific type of animal).
First Aid
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.
A successful roll will restore the recipient of hit points equal to the character's rank with this skill (multiply rank times 1.25 for absolute success). 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 stop bleeding takes one round and a successful skill roll.
First Aid to restore hit points takes 5 minutes. |
