A Healing attempt requires 10 minutes and must be done during the hour in which
the wounds were sustained; success removes one wound, and a raise removes an
additional wound
-1 penalty for each of the patients wounds; -2 penalty if first aid supplies are not
available
For Incapacitated patients, the healer must make a Healing roll to remove that
state before attempting to heal wounds
Natural healing: every 5 days, wounded / Incapacitated characters may make
Vigor rolls to improve one step (two with a raise); a critical failure increases a
wound level by one; Extras lose their Incapacitated status with a success and
expire if they roll a 1 on their Vigor die; apply the modifiers from the Natural
Healing Modifiers Table (p. 88)
After a fight, make Vigor rolls for each wounded Extra; failure = death; success =
Incapacitated; raise = healed
