Heal

Tiered Skill — Wis

The Heal skill is used to treat wounded characters, treat illnesses and poison, and deal with disease.

Unless specified otherwise, a heal check costs 4 AP. A character being healed must also contribute 4 AP and cannot use Conditional Actions for the duration of the round. Heal checks without proper medical tools and materials take a -2. In general no specific supplies are needed, as sticks and pieces of clothing can be used to make splints and bandages, etc, but in a case where there are absolutely no materials at hand, all heal checks take a -6 instead.

Uses

Stabilize Dying Character

If a character has negative Hit Points and is losing hit points, a successful Heal check will stabilize the character.

Treat Special Wounds

There are many specific effects that can be treated with the Heal skill, such as effects that reduce speed, cause continual damage, or create a specific condition (stunned, etc). If not otherwise specified, the heal DC to negate these effect is equal to the original DC for the effect.
