Re: [DL] Will Someone Stop the Bleedin'?

[TobyAkers@aol.com]

I've had a few charecters bleed to death, in one posse the vast majority of 
the charecters were arcane in some way and relied on those abilities to heal 
themselves.  Nobody bothered to take medicine general, a charecter was 
bleeding to death and of course all the arcane stuff would take way too long 
to help him so they had to make default rolls on medicine general, needless 
to say he died.  Another charecter was caught in a large dynamite explosion 
and after spending chips had 3-4 wounds in every location.  Remember that 
each wound bleeds, not just the highest wound level.  The charecter was 
bleeding 6 wind a round, and the only person who could get to him didn't have 
medicine.  He made three default rolls and busted on every one.  Now the guys 
bleeding 9 a round and died.  All this while the battle raged on around 
them...
