-==== Treating Wound Damage ====+----
  
-The Heal skill can be used to treat [[game_systems:combat:health#wounds|Wounds]] damage and provide relief to grievously injured characters. Please see the [[game_systems:combat:health#wounds|Wounds]] Surgery tab for how this can be done. 
  
 ==== Provide First Aid ==== ==== Provide First Aid ====
  
 You usually use first aid to save a Dying character. If a character has the Dying condition you can make him stable and remove it. A stable character regains no hit points but stops losing them. First aid also stops a character from losing hit points due to effects that cause bleed. You usually use first aid to save a Dying character.

 +==== Perform Surgery to heal Wounds ====
 +
 +To perform surgery, you must roll a [[priority:skills:heal|Heal]] check against a DC as shown in the table below, and use a [[equipment:tools_and_kits#healer_s_kit|Surgery Kit]]. Surgery takes 5 hours of work, though this takes 1 less hour for every 5 by which you exceed the [[priority:skills:heal|Heal]] DC. Performing surgery successfully restores Wounds equal to 2x the creature's Hit Dice (minimum 1).
 +
 +Typically, surgery must be performed by another creature, but the injured creature may perform surgery on themselves by adding 10 to the [[priority:skills:heal|Heal]] check DC.

 ==== Provide Long-Term Care ==== ==== Provide Long-Term Care ====
  
-Providing long-term care means treating a wounded person for a day or more. If your Heal check is successful, the patient recovers hit points or ability score points (lost to ability damage) at twice the normal rate: 2 hit points per level for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, or 4 hit points per level for each full day of complete rest; 2 ability score points for a full 8 hours of rest in a day, or 4 ability score points for each full day of complete rest.+Providing long-term care means treating a wounded person for an 8-hour period or more. To provide long-term care, you must make a Heal check at a DC of 15. Long-term care provides the following bonuses to a resting creature: 
 + 
 +  * **Wounds:** Cared-for creature restores 1 additional Wound point per 24 hours. 
 +  * **Hit Points:** Cared-for creature restores additional Hitpoints per hour equal to your ranks in Heal. 
 + 
 +You can tend to a number of creatures equal to your ranks in the Heal skill simultaneously. You need a few items and supplies (bandages, salves, and so on) that are easy to come by in settled lands (available with a [[game_systems:lifestyle#food|Lifestyle of Well-Fed]] or higher). Providing long-term care requires your continuous presence throughout the day, but only consumes one hour of your time each day, meaning you may [[priority:skills:craft|Craft]] or practice your [[priority:skills:profession|Profession]] simultaneously, if desired. You cannot provide long-term care to yourself.

 A creature wounded by a [[priority:magic:spells:tier2:spike_growth|]] or [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:spike_stones|]] spell must succeed on a Reflex save or take injuries that reduce his speed by one-third. Another character can remove this penalty by taking 10 minutes to dress the victim’s injuries and succeeding on a Heal check against the spell’s save DC. A creature wounded by a [[priority:magic:spells:tier2:spike_growth|]] or [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:spike_stones|]] spell must succeed on a Reflex save or take injuries that reduce his speed by one-third.
