DIY SurgeryWhen you do quick and dirty first aid on someone (including yourself), roll +Cool. On a 10+ it’s all good, it counts as normal first aid, plus stabilize the injury and heal 1 harm. On a 7-9 it counts as normal first aid, plus one of these, your choice: • Stabilise the injury but the patient takes -1 forward. • Heal 1-harm and stabilise for now, but it will return as 2-harm and become unstable again later. • Heal 1-harm and stabilise but the patient takes -1 ongoing until it’s fixed properly.
