RECOVERING FROM CRITICAL INJURIES

Since lingering Critical Injuries make subsequent inju-

ry more and more dangerous, they should be treated

as quickly and efficiently as possible. Critical Injuries

vary in magnitude, which represents the difficulty of

any corresponding Medicine check to treat and re-

move the injury. v

It is important to note that even if the effect of a

Critical Injury has expired, the Critical Injury still per-

sists until treated. For example, with a Critical result

of "23," which indicates the Off-Balance Critical Injury,

the character adds • to his next skill check.

Even after this effect has been applied, the Off-

Balance Critical Injury still exists, and will linger un-

til treated, making subsequent Critical Injury rolls

against the character that much more dangerous.
