Armor is the broad term used to describe protective gear; it does not require the character to conform to a medieval concept and may encompass styles from fantasy through science fiction.  Though the physical representation of armor can differ, all armor must be present in costume and must be approved by a safety staff member at character sign in. Armor phys reps must cover the torso of the player at minimum, or provide equivalent coverage over the body.

The equipping of armor inhibits the use of any called dodges and the quickness path that the character may possess.  Armor must be worn to grant the associated points in armor.  All armors apply bonuses from the Constitution stat as well as the Armor Skill Path. As a final note, a character wearing a helmet is immune to the skill Waylay.

Prerequisite: First Aid

This skill allows the character to heal 10 health points per purchase for every 60 count of uninterrupted care.  Should the Medic be interrupted, the action is unsuccessful and must be reattempted.  Medic may be purchased multiple times for a maximum of five total purchases.

In the advent of the target’s death, a character with the Medic skill may begin to heal the target.  This will pause the ten minute countdown associated with death.  Should the Medic be interrupted, the action is unsuccessful and the countdown is resumed.

Upon the first purchase of Medic Skill, the character gains the ability to wake those from normal unconsciousness at a 60 count action.

Upon the third purchase of the Medic Skill, the character gains the ability to mend crippled limbs.  This requires ten minutes per limb that is crippled.

At five purchases of Medic the character is able to install and remove Augments. This requires that the character have identified the augment prior to the installation of it using the appropriate advanced identify skill. To locate Augments in a host requires a 60-count examination of the patient. It takes a total of ten minutes to both locate and remove an augment as a single counted action.  To insert Augments requires ten minutes for each piece.

A medic performing a counted action may be assisted by a second medic, reducing the counted actions time by up to half. This is most easily done by starting to count by two’s as soon as the second medic starts assisting. The assistant must already have the medic level to perform the action they are assisting with. The amount of health restored is always dependent on the first medic to start treatment.

A medic is able to apply medical attention to themselves, however this is limited to only restoring HP to themselves.

When used offensively, all attacks gain the ‘magic’ damage call, the same as when using a magic weapon. The full call then becomes <Damage> Magic <type>, aka “15 Magic Blunt”.

When used defensively, it adds to the physical armor value, and does not affect the magical protection value.

This is an active magical effect and may be removed with Nullify or other valid ways to negate active magical effects.
