Eddy63 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) At the moment there is not much use for the first aid skill. Investing into that skill as a main char is rather a waste of trait points since most of us try to avoid getting injured by zombies anyways, and you either get lucky scratched or lacerated and survive or you get bitten Z- infected ... and simply die anyways so first aid becomes pointless then. And this is where I would like to see more situations were you can get "domestic injuries" that don't seal a death sentence like a zombie bite. I know you can get cut damage from broken glass and even running through bushes can give you scratches, but I would love to see (and that may be optional in the sandbox settings) every day household injuries due to low experience in any field. -You are bad at cooking? How about you cut your finger when cutting vegetables or a dead animal, or you burn your finger when cooking / touching a hot pot. -If you are bad a carpentry, there could be a chance that you hit your own hand/finger with a hammer when building something. -Get a splinter under your skin (use tweezers) from sawing logs. -bad at tailoring? prick your finger on the needle ... and so on. It could also be countered/mitigated by wearing protective gloves/clothing. The chances for such injuries should be fairly low, like 0.1 - 5% based on your respective skill, or completely optional. Situations like these would make the first aid skill a lot more needed overall while adding to the immersion, without an immediate life or death situation from a zombie injury.

iuridosanjos Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Agree. Seems easy to implement and it's realistic. It should take stress and other stuff in consideration. Wouldn't prioritize this over other more important things tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I like this as it would support people who want to play as medics in multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
