First Aid and Medicine

Alacrity Fantasy, A TTRPG by Adam J.. McKee and James G. Walker, Jr.

When adventurers suffer injuries, recovering requires more than just time. Alacrity differentiates between immediate battlefield care and dedicated medical treatment through two distinct skills. Understanding the roles of First Aid and Medicine is crucial for keeping characters alive and ready for the next challenge.

  • First Aid:
    • Represents immediate, basic treatment: bandaging wounds, stopping bleeding, applying pressure, etc.
    • Successful checks usually improve daily healing rates and stop ongoing HP loss if you’re seriously wounded or worse.
  • Medicine:
    • Involves more thorough care under cleaner conditions with proper tools.
    • Usually grants a significant bonus to HP recovery once per day.
    • Rolls can only be made once per day per patient unless the Game Master rules that fresh resources or a new situation allow another attempt.
