PUCS | Rules / Healing

Bodily damage in this system is about minor wounds: cuts, bruises and burns sustained in game play. When a player looses all the points in a zone, it is considered a serious (and often deadly) wound.

Basic Medical Attention

Allow the character to heal by ordinary means.

• Each day all zones of the player recover some damage.
• An affected zone can convert 1 point of wound to bruise per day.
• Once all the wounds in a zone are healed, the bruise damage begins to heal at one point per zone per day.

Requirements

• Presumes the player can rest. This is not to say the player lies in bed for a day, but presumes the player can avoid all strenuous activity for a day.
• Presumes the player can clean and bandage the wounds or has that done for them.
