Endurance Modifier when Healing

[brazouck]

Hello,

I can't find it in the rules.

In combat you lose first all your endurance points before losing stregth and dex.

So often players will end combat with 0 end and this give them a -3 DM.

The rule on natural healing says that a character health can worsen due to End modifiers (in fact it WILL worthen on 1 or 2 on the die because of the -3DM) .

When Medical care is applied by a Medic with +1 skill the healing will be : 2 (base number) -3(END DM) +1(Medic skill) = 0 points per day.

So Medic +2 is the minimum to help healing, is that right ? And medical care don't need torolle dice right ?

Last one, how often can you make medical care ? The skill description says 1-6 hour is that it ?

thanks

2nd edition:

Medical care restores 3 + the Traveller’s END DM + the doctor’s Medic skill in characteristic points per day,

Core, p74

Natural Healing
An injured Traveller regains a number of characteristic points equal to his 1D + END DM per day of full rest.

Core, p75

As far as I understand it:

1 Apply First Aid immediately (once) [Medic check]
2 Transport to hospital.
3 Apply Surgery repeatedly until one characteristic is undamaged. [Medic check(s)]
4 Medical Care restores a fixed amount of damage per day of bedrest. [no skill check]

or

1 Apply First Aid immediately (once) [Medic check]
2 Natural Healing restores a variable amount of damage per day of bedrest. [no skill check]


Note that equipment can give a DM on the Medic checks, e.g.:

A medical bay grants DM+1 to all Medic checks made within it.

High Guard, p46.
An operating theatre in a regular hospital is probably better.

Thanks a shamethe french version is still 1st ed.

So Yes, End DM apply to healing.

Ok, 1st Edition. I find the rules on p74-75 in the chapter "Encounters and Dangers" in the English edition.

The procedure seems to be the same, and a bit more detailed. Medical Care and Natural Healing is still per day.

Note that First Aid and Surgery can be applied to END, probably speeding up the healing process, if a hospital is available.

 

[brazouck]

Yes, I think it is standard procedure to heal END first.

I will go with the base 3 for medical care instead of 2

And how often can you do medical care? I only find the 1-6hour in medic skill, no more info.
edit sorry oops see it in your answer, 1 per day.

Need 2nd edition in french ... I read english ok but I get the french edition to have the skills in french for my players

 

[AnotherDilbert]

Medical Care heals per day without a skill check.
