This section is a more in depth look at each wound type and severity including special effects and treatment options. The information in Wounds 101, combined with use of a scanner in wounds mode, provides enough information to generally treat injuries and understand their most important parts. The following information is supplemental and goes into extra detail to help you understand the finer points of treating them, and how to be more efficient in doing so. | |||
This section is a more in depth look at each wound type and severity including special effects and treatment options. | |||
Wounds are classified by two things: '''type''' and '''severity'''. There are four types ('''blunt, slashing, piercing, and burn'''), and three main severities ('''moderate, severe, and critical'''). The more severe wound is, the more damage is required to sustain it, and the more debilitating it is until treated. | Wounds are classified by two things: '''type''' and '''severity'''.

Every tick, you lose that much blood, and your blood flow is modified based on a few factors noted below. As your blood flow decreases so does your wound severity, but while it is possible to increase blood flow, you cannot raise the severity directly by doing so. The factors for modifying your bleeding rate are: | ||

*Notes: While moderate and severe slashes usually aren't immediate matters of life and death, critical slashes are by far the most dangerous wound you can suffer. Not only have you likely suffered large amounts of damage to your limb, but you're also losing blood at a dizzying rate that is actively getting worse rather than better. Either wrap up what you're doing within the next minute or run and hide for a bit to treat yourself before too long passes. Your top priority, whether you're treating someone with a critical slashes or are the patient yourself, should be to do everything you can to lower your bleeding, starting with applying bandages and sticking yourself with a medipen, followed by sutures or cauterization. Otherwise, you'll be flirting with passing out before too long. | *Notes: While moderate and severe slashes usually aren't immediate matters of life and death, critical slashes are by far the most dangerous wound you can suffer.

*Notes: Still not super serious but remember that every blow to this limb can cause you to lose extra blood from the hole in it. For reference, the base blood flow here is a bit higher than a moderate slash. If you have a surgical drape, a hemostat/scalpel, and a cautery, the [[Surgery|Patch wound surgery]] is very quick (simply incise, hemo/scalpel, cautery/anything hot, repeat 2 & 3 until treated, close surgery) and effective at treating piercing wounds. | *Notes: Still not super serious but remember that every blow to this limb can cause you to lose extra blood from the hole in it.

This means a limb suffering from bad burns is almost trivially easy to apply bone wounds to, and the penalty for a moderate burn is actually higher than the threshold for a moderate cut, meaning any sharp attack that does enough damage to roll wounds (5 force) will automatically cause an abrasion, if not worse, without strong armor. Combined with the fact that burns increase all incoming damage on that limb, lasers make for an excellent way to soften up lightly armored/unarmored targets for melee fighting. | ||
