FREDHAWK - Medical Diagnoses & Prescriptions

When a doctor treats a patient's Wounds, they make a Medicine or Biologie roll (see Healing).

Medical Healing requires 1d6 Weeks under treatment. The Difficulty of the Treatment roll is based on the degree of Woundedness:

1 Wound: 20

2 Wounds: 25

3 Wounds: 30

4 Wounds: 35

Success will convert ONE Wound to 1 Stun. Additional Successes allow the doctor to move either the Diagnosis or the Treatment to a more favorable dice result; one pip per extra Success.

To determine the specific course of treatment for a malady, internal or external, roll on the following tables.
