Benchmarks

• 11 - 20: Field medic/nurse level ability, able to stabilize a critically injured individual (Heal a target with Minor damage. This may be done in or out of combat).
• 21 - 25: Intermediate medical knowledge or expertise in a particular field, capable of treating most common conditions and/or performing moderately complex procedures (Heal a target with Moderate or lower damage).
• 26 - 30: Advanced medical knowledge or expertise in a particular field, capable of treating even rare conditions and/or performing complex surgeries or procedures (Heal a target with Heavy or lower damage, target cannot be self).
• 31+: Among the best in the field. Even if none of the other experts can cure it, the character might have a chance (Heal a target of Critical or lower damage. If damage is higher than Moderate, target cannot be self.)
