Verb:TEND

Using the TEND verb, bandages can be applied to a bleeding wound. 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.

First Aid Requirements

Rank Requirement Formula:

$FirstAidRanks\geq ((2\times Difficulty)+(6\times Severity)-12)\times (Bleed/Round)$

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

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

Wound Difficulty
1	Back, Arms, Hands, Legs
2	Head, Chest, Abdomen
3	Neck
