    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:

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are Medpacs in SWURPG?

    Medpacs are technological healing kits that restore hit points and treat conditions. They range from Medpac I to V, with stronger ones curing toxins and diseases.

    How does the Treat Injury skill work?

    Treat Injury enhances healing with Medpacs. The higher the check result, the more HP are restored, potentially doubling healing on a natural 20.

    What is the difference between Short Rest and Long Rest?

    A Short Rest recovers some HP based on level, Constitution, and proficiency. A Long Rest fully restores HP and clears most conditions.

    How often can I use Second Wind?

    Second Wind can be used once per Long Rest to heal 1d10 + character level HP. Some traits may allow more frequent use.

    Can healing be done during combat?

    Yes. Medpacs and Second Wind can be used during combat, and Treat Injury can enhance healing if used effectively with the right training.
