2008 death and dying

[GM-Mike]

Unfortunately, a character only has so much life to work with. When a character's life points reach zero, they become incapacitated; they can talk but cannot move or perform any actions. When a character has negative life points they are dying and will bleed to death in one minute. During this time a character can speak in a low whisper, but cannot move in any way; this includes drinking potions unless they have a skill that states otherwise. When a character is bleeding to death another character must bring their life point total equal to or greater than zero to make them stable. This can be done through the use of skills or items such as first aid, surgery, and potions. You may only heal from -9 to 0 unless you have a skill that says otherwise. Once a character is stable they can heal normally. A character can only have first aid performed on them once while their life point total is less than zero. Once healed into positive life, the next time the character takes damage and falls below zero life they can be healed through the first aid skill once again.
