# TEND (verb)

(Redirected from TEND)

The TEND verb applies bandages to a bleeding wound. (Bandages are not an inventory item; it is assumed adventurers always have a ready supply of them.)

The success of this is based on ranks of First Aid. Tending wounds causes roundtime for both the tender and the tendee with a maximum of 60 seconds. If the tender does not have the required amount of ranks to tend to a wound, but has at least half of the ranks required, a bandage covering half of the bleed amount will be applied. The DIAGNOSE and HEALTH verbs will show a player whether or not they can bandage a wound, and how much roundtime it will incur.

Bandages can last for a number of offensive actions equal to the tender's (First Aid Ranks / 10), after which they will fall off and the player will begin bleeding again.

Tending while the Tend Lore spell is active will be 25% faster and the tender will be granted 20 phantom ranks. Roundtime can also be reduced via Celerity (506).

## First Aid Requirements

Rank Requirement Formula:

$\displaystyle \mathrm{FirstAidRanks} \ge ((2 \times \mathrm{Difficulty}) + (6 \times \mathrm{Severity}) - 12) \times (\mathrm{Bleed}/\mathrm{Round})$

Roundtime Formula (additional ranks past the above requirement reduce RT by 1s each, minimum 3s):

$\displaystyle \mathrm{Roundtime} = (2 \times \mathrm{Difficulty}) + (6 \times \mathrm{Severity}) + (2 \times \mathrm{Bleed}/\mathrm{Round}) + 3$

Wound Difficulty
1 Back, Arms, Hands, Legs
