Injury Levels and Healing Rates

A character’s status (merely bruised, injured, seriously wounded, mauled, or incapacitated) determines how quickly they can recover and how much medical help they need.

1. Merely Bruised (above 75% HP):
   • You’re sore and scuffed up, but still combat-capable with no special healing requirements.
   • Natural healing: 1d10 HP per day.
   • A successful Medicine check can add 1d10 to that day’s total.
2. Injured (25%–49% HP):
   • You suffer a –10% penalty on all rolls.
   • Natural healing without any aid: 1 HP per day.
   • If someone successfully applies First Aid within an hour of injury, you heal at 2 HP per day.
   • A successful Medicine check adds 1d10 HP that day (once per day).
   • You can handle light duties (walking slowly, simple tasks), but strenuous activity may slow healing or cause setbacks at the Game Master’s discretion.
3. Seriously Wounded (50%–74% HP):
   • You suffer a –20% penalty on all rolls.
   • You can’t heal naturally unless you remain in bed rest all day (no significant movement or work).
   • With bed rest only, you gain 1 HP per day. If someone succeeds at First Aid, that rate becomes 2 HP per day.
   • A successful Medicine check grants 10 HP immediately (once per day).
   • If you must leave bed rest for any reason, you gain no HP that day and lose 1d10 HP. Once you improve above 50%, you drop back down to the “injured” category with its rules.
4. Mauled (75%–90% HP):
   • You suffer a –30% penalty on all rolls.
   • Initially, you lose 1d10 HP per hour until someone succeeds at a First Aid check to stabilize you.
   • Once stabilized, you heal at 1 HP per day of bed rest.
   • A successful Medicine check each day adds 1d10 HP (once per day).
   • Any day you fail to remain in bed, you lose 1d10 HP for that day instead of healing.
5. Incapacitated (91%+ HP lost):
   • You are at or below 10% of your max HP and cannot act.
   • You lose 1d10 HP per round until stabilized by First Aid.
   • Once stabilized, if you are at 0 or fewer HP, you are held at 1 HP for a number of hours equal to the margin of success on the First Aid roll.
   • While in this state, you heal at 1 HP per day of complete bed rest.
   • A successful Medicine check provides 1d10 – 2 HP for that day, once per day.
   • If your HP ever drops to a negative equal to your Body score, you die.

Stun Point Recovery

Stun Points bounce back more quickly than Hit Points:

• You regain 1d10 SP per hour of rest.
• Despite recovering Stun Points rapidly, each time you lose 5 SP, you also lose 1 HP. This HP damage must be healed via the regular Hit Point rules above.
