Duration: NA
Effect: heals minor injuries
Soothe is
much like a miraculous version of the first aid skill in that it can be
used to heal characters of shock damage and KO conditions but not wound damage.
Unlike first aid though, the miracle’s difficulty is not determined by
the character’s injuries. The faith total of the miracle is compared to
its difficulty. On a minimal success the miracle will heal five points
of shock damage. On an average success the miracle will heal all of a
character’s shock damage and remove a K or O condition. If the character has a
KO condition it is reduced to a K. With a good or better success level
the miracle will heal all of a character’s shock damage as well as completely
remove any KO conditions. Soothe will also stop the accumulation of
shock damage that a character with a mortal wound experiences if the
effect total receives an average or better success level. A character
who is at four wounds (dead) that is immediately treated with soothe will
improve to mortally wounded with a good success level or better
but will still accumulate shock damage from being mortally wounded. With
a superior or better success level the dead character is improved
to mortally wounded and will not accumulate any shock damage. Characters
who are dead from more than five wounds may not be rescued with the
miracle.
