Includes the following Surgical tools for surgeries:

Forceps
Scalpel
Drain
Magnification Glass
Syringe
Needle and thread
Bandages

Special: Without a surgical kit, tools must be improvised or done away with causing a -4 to precision rolls

Advanced surgical kit
Cost:400

Special: With the advanced surgical kit you gain a +2 to Precision rolls

Skill

Surgery (Dex, Trained only)
Allows the use of Surgical procedures in order to treat wounds

Special: Add half your ranks in Surgery to your precision roll


Step One

Knocking the Patient out

*Patients not knockout provide a -4 to precision rolls*

You don't want the patient to scream in pain every time you attempt to help them, their are several different approaches to Knocking your patient out

Defining "Knocked out"

Knocked out in this way means unable to feel the pain, Very dull pain, Unconscious, Dying, Trance. Your dm has final say on if the patient is Knocked out by your method.

Methods of knocking out.

Alcohol: Alcohol is a great way to dull the pain of surgery or even knock the patient out.

Alcohol

The Surgeon rolls a d20 adding the potency of the ale to the roll against the constitution score of the patient, if it succeeds the the patient is knocked out, if it fails by 3 or less, then it fails with a 24 hour reduction to the dc to knock out the patient by 2, the use is wasted. Failing by more wastes the use with no dc reduction.

Small: half a use of a bottle
Medium:1 use of a bottle
Large:2 uses of a bottle

Snow Water
"Wha' th' hell laddie I tol' you to get da booze!"
Cost:1gp
Uses:1
Potency:1

Weak Ale
"a Beginners drink"
Cost:7 gp per bottle
Uses:4
Potency:3

Surgical Alcohol
"Surgeons preferred"
Cost:12 gp per bottle
Uses:3
Potency:5

Moonshine
"This is the stuff"
Cost:15 gp per bottle
Uses:4
Potency:7

Dwarven Stout
"Not the common mans drink"
Cost:20
Uses:3
Potency:9

Magic and psionics
Spells that can "Knock out" Patients, are preferred by clerics *Besides dwarven ones.*

Force
By dealing enough nonlethal damage, patients are effectively Knocked out.

Vital points, Precision roll and cure roll

Vital points are the *Health* of the body during surgery, if ever to reach 0 the patient dies. Under normal circumstances the vitals of the patient are 100, but depending on the injury, it can be lower. Vitals increase at a rate of 5 per hour.

Precision roll is the roll that determines whether you treat the problem or you fail to the first time. Failing the precision roll could Inflict damage to the Vitals of the patient.


First Incision
Not all surgeries require a incision into the body, *Such as external wound treatment* The base dc for the first Incision is 10, Add 2 for every point of Natural armor. Roll a Precision roll for this, if you succeed the precision roll then roll cure points 5 for the purpose of first incision. Failing the precision roll by 5 or less lowers the dc by 2, failing by more doesn't lower the Dc. Subtract 5 points from the vitals for failing the first Incision.

*Saving spot for Future use*

*I need a total of Five Saved spots*
