You are able to better recognize the wounded and are more adept at treating wounds.
This skill allows a character to see the current Hit Points of other characters in the same location. Further, an additional 5 Hit Points are healed when the character uses a First Aid Kit.
If character also has Sense Magic, is using the enhanced interface, and has tips turned on, they can see if another character is suffering from debuffs like Agony Curse, Poison, Weaken or Minor Poison.
His hands moved with purpose over the bleeding body of the young woman. She had several large bullet wounds across her body, three in the chest, and a sick bloody froth issued from one of the wounds in the upper chest with each rapid, shallow breath.
He knew if the wound was not at least sealed her lung would collapse in a minute, maybe less... already her level of consciousness was rapidly falling. He wrapped the wound with an occlusive dressing and removed the flutter valve from the kit. He had seen one placed once before, he just had to get into the chest cavity and release the pressure the blood and air was putting on the lung. The froth had subsided with the occlusive dressing but her respirations were well over 40 per minute. She was dying.
He punched the valve through her chest above the third rib down and a dramatic fountain of blood and air escaped from the valve... Her lung was inflating with each breath forcing the blood and air out. Her respirations leveled out around to around 20 per minute. She was stable... for now.
