Superficial: 1

Light: 2-3

Serious: 3-8

Critical: 9+

Superficial and Light wounds will stop bleeding on their own after a few minutes and will not cause any further damage.

Serious wounds will not stop bleeding without medical attention and may result in death. If left untreated the character must begin making HT rolls after a number of minutes equal to their HT have passed with a new HT roll every minute with a cummulative -1 penalty. If the HT roll is failed the character will lose the number of hit points by which the roll was failed.

Critical wounds will bleed profusely and will definitely result in death. If left untreated the character must begin making HT rolls after a number of minutes equal to their HT/2 have passed with a new HT roll every 30 seconds with a cummulative -1 penalty. If the HT roll is failed the character will lose the number of hit points by which the roll was failed.

Natural recovery: At the end of each day of rest and decent food, the injured

person rolls against HT for each wound. A successful roll recovers 1 hit

point for that wound.

First Aid: 5 minutes per injury, restores 1d-3 hit points(minimum 1) to that

injury. Critical success restores the maximum, critical failure increases the

injury by 2 points. First aid applied after 10 minutes will not restore any

hit points but will stop bleeding.

patient recover 1 hit point of an injury, critical success recovers 2. A

badly failed roll costs the patient 1 hit point. 10 injuries may be treated

per physician. Minimum skill is 12 to get these advantages.

Magical: Minor Healing will cure up to 3 points of Light Wounds, it has no

effect on more sever injuries. Major Healing will reduce one Light or Serious

Wound by up to 8 points, it has no effect on more severe injuries and cannot

be spread among multiple wounds. Critical Healing will reduce one wound by up

to 8 points regardless of severity. All three spells may be cast on the same

person without risk.

Psionic: Each wound must be treated separately but there is no limit to the

severity of the wound that can be healed.

Hedge wizards use their arcane knowledge to combine physical and

meta-physical elements to aid in the treatment of the wounded. Their

knowledge allows them to read the illness in a patient, prepare beneficial

meals and medicines, and to attract helpful spirits. All rolls made at the

10pt learner level are made at -5.

Cooking: Often used in conjunction with Physician skill to make fortifying

meals to speed along recovery from illness. Hedge wizards are also

well as any secular doctor - but much more. As a general rule, hedge magic can

heal the sick or wounded two or three times as fast as mundane doctoring, but

a good deal more effort is often required (both in terms of creating the right

atmosphere for healing, and in terms of required medicines and treatments). A

Naturalist: Possibly the most essential skill for the hedge wizard, since it

provides knowledge of the magical properties of plants and animals, as well as

a deep understanding of natural cycles and the relationships between all
