Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Rule Book

Recovery and Healing

llhile characters can be afflicted with various ail-
wments and types of damage, there are thankfully
several options for recovery. Recovery can vary in
time and effectiveness, based on the resources and
expertise available to the characters. With the proper
resources and sufficient time, characters can recover
from virtually any encounter.

RECOVERING FROM

WOUNDS

There are several ways that characters can recover from

wounds. Some allow for natural, if slow, healing and oth-

ers require access to high-tech medical facilities.

NATURAL REST

For each full night's rest, the character recovers

one wound, regardless of the character's cur-

rent state of health. At the end of each full

week of rest, the character may attempt

a Resilience check to recover from one

Critical Injury. The difficulty is equal to

the Critical Injury's severity rating. On a

successful check, the character recov-

ers from the Critical Injury and is no

longer affected. On a failed check, the

character retains the Critical Injury ef-

fect, but still recovers one wound. A (J)

result means the character can hea

one additional Critical Injury.

Droids benefit from natural rest like any

other character, as their subroutines and

automated systems attempt self-repairs.

A character may also attempt to help someone re-

cover from a Critical Injury by making a Medicine check

with a difficulty equal to the severity rating of the Critical

Injury (see Table 6-11 on page 220). A character may

attempt one Medicine check per week per Critical Injury.

A character may attempt to heal his own normal

wounds or recover from his own Critical Injuries with

Medicine, but increases the difficulty of the Medi-

cine check by two. In addition, attempting a Medi-

cine check without the proper equipment (see

page 176) increases the difficulty of the

check by one.

MEDICAL CARE

A character may attempt a Medicine

check to help a character heal wounds.

Each character may only receive one

Medicine check each encounter, as

there is only so much good first aid

can do to help a character.

The difficulty of the check is based

on the target's current state of

health. On a successful check, the

target recovers a number of wounds

equal to the number of successes

generated by the Medicine roll, and

an amount of strain equal to the

number of O generated.
