I have a basic question. In the rules it says:
Applying first aid restores a number of characteristic points equal to twice the Effect of the Medic check.
If the Medic check is unsuccessful (ie, the effect is -2), does that mean 4 characteristic points are lost (-4 points are restored)?
While this may not be the intent of the check, I kind of like it as it means well-meaning bystanders who are trying to help are really not, and gives potentially serious consequences for failure.
