Rule Information

Rule Notes: Diagnosis rolls should proceed any treatment rolls; successful rolls should result in the doctor receiving information about the type of wound from the injured character or an overseeing moderator. Higher rolls will result in more detailed information, but Mediocre is all that is needed to be able to treat the wound. Below Mediocre, a doctor will not be sure what's wrong- and any attempts to treat may do more harm than good.
Common Modifiers: As a medical skill, Diagnosis receives a bonus of +1 when within a modern medical facility.
Counterskills: None relevant.
