SWURPG – Star Wars Universe Roleplaying Game

Healing

Combat in SWURPG can be brutal — but survival often hinges on how quickly heroes recover. Healing represents restoring vitality after wounds, exhaustion, and critical injuries. This page explains how healing works, how to use Medpacs, and how to apply the Treat Injury skill for better recovery.

Healing Basics

Characters regain hit points in three main ways:

Natural Recovery: After a Short or Long Rest, a character recovers some or all lost hit points.
Medpacs: Using technological means to heal damage during or after combat.
Treat Injury Skill: Skilled allies can improve healing or stabilize wounded characters without equipment.

Using Medpacs

Medpacs are essential healing tools, available in five tiers. Each higher level improves the healing dice and adds medical effects against toxins and diseases. The rarity of Toxins and Diseases is at GM discretion.

Medpac I → Heals 1d6 HP | 50 cr | No special effect

Medpac II → Heals 2d6 HP | 150 cr | Cures basic toxins/diseases

Medpac III → Heals 3d6 HP | 350 cr | Cures rare toxins/diseases

Medpac IV → Heals 4d6 HP | 800 cr | Cures very rare toxins/diseases

Medpac V → Heals 5d6 HP | 1750 cr | Cures almost any toxins/diseases

Using a Medpac requires a standard action (or a bonus action if you are trained in Treat Injury or have Medic Training traits).

Treat Injury Skill

Treat Injury is crucial for maximizing healing from Medpacs. The better your skill, the greater the recovery you provide:

Treat Injury Check Results:

Result < 10: Heal only the base (Xd6)
10–14: Heal Xd6 + Wisdom modifier
15–19: Heal Xd6 + Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus
20+: Heal Xd6 + Wisdom modifier + (Proficiency Bonus × 2)
Natural 20: Heal 2 × (Xd6 + Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus)

A skilled healer can massively improve recovery outcomes, turning a simple Medpac into a battlefield lifesaver!

Recovering with Long Rest

After a Long Rest (at least 6 hours), characters automatically regain all hit points and recover from most non-magical conditions like exhaustion. Certain force powers, tech devices, or med treatments can speed up recovery during Short Rests too, depending on the campaign.

Recovering with Short Rest

Characters recover hit points quickly during a Short Rest (at least 1 uninterrupted hour of downtime).

Short Rest Healing:
Character Level + Constitution Modifier + Proficiency Bonus

Short Rest Limit:
A character can take up to three Short Rests between each Long Rest.
Plan your rests wisely — heroes who overextend without full recovery risk facing their greatest challenges wounded and exhausted!

Second Wind

Second Wind represents a sudden burst of resilience and determination, allowing heroes to push beyond their limits when needed most.

Second Wind:
Regain HP = 1d10 + Character Level
Can be used once per Long Rest as a Bonus Cction unless enhanced by traits.

Second Wind allows characters to recover mid-battle, often turning the tide in desperate moments. Some classes or abilities may grant additional uses or upgrades to Second Wind over time.
