First Aid Skill

The first aid skill is checked when tending bleeding external wounds and lodged items.

Having a bleeding wound will subject you to a chance of getting gangrene. The chance of catching this disease increase dramatically if a wound goes untended for 9 minutes. Every time a wound bandage needs to be applied there is a chance of catching gangrene, but it is a much lower than letting the wound bleed.

Blood Staunching will dramatically reduce the chances of getting gangrene from bleeding wounds.
