Basic Field Medicine

Prerequisite: Basic Camp Skills

This skill allows you to create sterile bandages with additional curative properties on a successful roll to forage for herbs. Utilizing mosses, bark, and parts culled from medicinal plants, you may create a poultice to apply to an open wound. Where a normal bandage would simply stop bleeding, this bandage cures d4+1 hit points. Only one such bandage can be applied per person, per short or long rest (i.e. – the recipient must complete a short or long rest before another poultice will have any effect). The search for the herbs takes at least 1 hour. Poultice preparation and application takes ten minutes. Note: You use the same foraging table that those with the Healing Skill use:

Die Roll	Spring	Summer	Autumn	Winter
1-13	Nothing	Nothing	Nothing	Nothing
14-15	Nothing	1	Nothing	Nothing
16-17	1	2	1	Nothing
18-23	2	3	2	1
24-25	3	4	3	2
26+	4	5	4	3

(and if you have a Medicine Bag, you don’t need to forage – you can just use “medical ammo” from the medicine bag and reload it with your foraged supplies).
