So while taking a gander through the Injury section of the core rulebook, I came across the "Amputated Limbs" section, and all the additional rules that they entail. Previously, I just dealt with useless and lost limbs as they are described in the Critical Damage tables. I knew that both would require some Medicae skill to stop Blood Loss and Narrative Time spent healing, and planned accordingly.
However, I came across this little section that made it a little bit more ambiguous for me (as well as highlighting just how screwed a player is when they lose something)
A character that loses body parts (except for his head, which almost certainly means death) is also affected by Blood Loss and must be treated for it quickly. If the character lives, someone with the Medicae Skill must be found to adequately treat the stump to ensure that it heals well. If no medic is available, there is only a 20% chance that the stump will heal over. If it does not, the amputee dies a horrible death from infection after 1d10 days.
So this leaves me with a couple questions. First off, after the Blood Loss treatment, what kind of test would "adequately treat the stump" entail? It doesn't even mention a test, or a roll, just someone with the skill making sure it doesn't look bad. My next question is what is the 20%? Just a 1d10 roll, with the player getting infected on anything above a 2? Lastly, in that 1d10 days of infection before death, can the player be treated then?
Thanks in advance.
