 __TOC__
 To execute the procedure, individuals cannot have traits associated with [[Character Background Generator#Talents|idiocy or imbecility, or be moronic]], simply because they're unable to grasp even simple concepts without the physical help of others.  This ability also offers some assistance for [[Injury|injuries]].  Although anyone can bind a wound in three [[Combat Round|combat rounds]], characters with this sage ability can bind wounds more swiftly and effectively, saving considerable time in providing aid.

 This can happen if the binding character is [[Stun Lock|stunned]] or otherwise prevented from their good work.  In some cases, each round may count where the patient's survival is concerned.  Up to three characters, trained or otherwise, may participate on a single patient in binding wounds; if all possess the binding wounds ability, up to four may do so.
-=== Time Needed ===
+=== Time Needed/Unskilled & Skilled Persons ===
 For unskilled persons, binding a wound that causes 1 [[Hit Points|hit point]] of damage per round takes '''three rounds to bind''', once the bandage is in hand.  It's important not to waste time hunting for bandages.  For each additional point of severity a wound has (say, causing 2 damage per round instead of 1), an addition two rounds is needed to completely bind that wound (5 rounds altogether).
 If, however, the character has this sage ability, the time needed for 1 point of wound is '''two rounds''', not three.  Moroever, each additional point of severity only requires a single additional round.  Thus, what an unskilled person takes 5 rounds to accomplish, a skilled person can do in three.
 === Binding with Care ===

 Beyond binding wounds, the ability allows characters to properly set splints for a character's [[Injury|injury]].  If the amount of injury is between 1-3 points, it takes approximately 4-10 rounds to apply and secure the splints in place, once actual pieces and binding is obtained for the splint.  This will do for injuries like a simple broken bone or sprain.  Any injury of 4 points or more requires more time in precision.  Complex splinting can take anywhere from 25 to 50 rounds, depending on the specific nature of the injury.
-In all cases, splinting helps stabilize the injured area, alleviating pain and discomfort associated with the injury.  This allows the individual to travel, though they should be treated as having a 3 strength for [[Encumbrance|encumbrance]] purposes, and cannot have on their person so much that they can lose even one action point from their movement.

-The ability also provides the character with an ability to manage [[Injury|injuries]], particularly breaks in limbs, so that the patient is able to marginally function.  The character can identify the nature of the injury and what's wrong, so that its effect can be mitigated to the greatest degree with materials available, depending upon conditions.

 === Bandages ===
-Wounds may be closed with any piece of loose cloth, which can be ripped from [[Clothing|clothing]] that is not fitted tight to the body (unless time is taken to actually take off a shirt, vest, pants, etc.
+Proper bandages are available for purchase at most markets, typically crafted from soft fibers like pulled cotton, wool, or linen.  It's assumed that characters take precautions to keep these bandages clean, though they can be [[Saving Throws for Items|damaged]] by water, fire and similar hazards.
-Extraordinarily heavy cloth, such as oilcloth or that used for [[Padded Armour|padded armour]] (chausses and hauberk) cannot be employed as a bandage, as it is too thick and stiff.
+In desperate moments, any loose piece of cloth can be used, which can be torn from [[Clothing|clothing]] that isn't tightly fitted to the body — unless there's time to actually remove a shirt, vest, pants, etc.  The cloth must be light, however, as heavy cloth, such as oilcloth or that used for [[Padded Armour|padded armour]], cannot be employed as a bandage due to its thickness and rigidity.
-Actual bandages can be purchased at most markets; these are soft fiber squares made of pulled cotton, wool or linen. It is presumed a character always take steps to keep these bandages clean, though of course they may be damaged [[Saving Throws for Items|by water, fire and so on]].
+However, an ordinary cloth dressing is improper, as it may be partly soiled.  There's a chance that a disease may develop, unless the cloth is replaced with a proper dressing made of clean bandages within an hour.  The likelihood of a random disease occurring when an improper dressing is left in place, and not changed, is 1 in 30.

 Once the binding of a wound has begun, the creature will cease to suffer damage from the wound; however, if binding the wound is interrupted, even for the space of a round, the wound will reopen and the binding process must begin again as though no previous effort was performed.
