class mechanics NAME OF CLASS: First Aid 101 PROFESSOR NAME: Professor Cricket General information: A general overview on basic illnesses a student might run into, as well as symptoms and quick fixes to things like breaks and deep cuts while on the go! Each student is given a dummy to work on, though they may choose to partner up in fixing it. Mechanics: Roll 1 20-sided dice, what you roll is what your student gets to work with... Dice Rolls and What they Mean! 1-4 - Broken Bone 4-8 - Fever 9-12 - Heat Stroke 13-16 - Hypothermia 17-20 - Lack of Bodily Function (such as breathing, pulse, etc) - this is unnaturally so. After this, please roll 4, 4-sided Dice. Take into account their total and any repeating numbersTotal Results and their Meaning 1-6 - You do a rather poor job patching up your dummy, you might not want to try and heal anybody anytime soon! 7-12 - You do an average job, nothing extraordinary, but passable! 12-16 - Extra good work! Your student can now heal surface wounds!, but not repair HP! This means things like cuts and bleeding that might hinder another character can be patched up! What Repeating Numbers Mean No Repeating Numbers - You used just the right amount of supplies, good for you! Not wasteful at all. Repeating 1s or 2s - You didn't use enough supplies, that's rather lazy and Cricket obviously disapproves of it. Repeating 3s or 4s - You used too many supplies and that's wasteful! Naughty! Cricket might make you earn your supply rights back in a future class! , split up the dice between yourselves as evenly as possible. So if you're paired up, each person rolls a 10 sided dice and you add up the results to get your dummy! Then you split up your 4 sided dice to work on fixing it up! Bonus Mechanics:For every 3 times you attempt this course, your student may add +1 to their 4d4 dice roll's total to improve how well they patched up the dummy. YOU LOSE/FINISH THIS CLASS WHEN... - You are finished rolling both sets of dice and rping out the results. That means you have to make ANOTHER rp to try again!

Attempt one:
First aid, it was a skill he needed to learn, a fact he had become increasingly and more painfully aware of. What he wouldn't have given for a chance to heal himself without dissipating during the events on the four clans isles (oh how he -hated- dissipating). He needed more skills, he needed to become stronger, he needed to know how to heal, it was vital if he ever hoped to defend Tess, his friends, himself, and his home.

It was with some trepidation, or perhaps uncertainty was a better word, that he stepped into the classroom. He cast a furtive look around the room, searching the room for the school nurse, then stepping toward the dummy resting on the table further inside the room. He blinked ones, twice, his gaze now firmly set on the dummy. So...what was he supposed to do with it? How did he know what--oh! He had reached out to touch the dummy, recoiling slightly when he realized how cold and clammy it was under his touch. It was not until that moment that he realized the bluish tint, especially at the extremities, was not normal.

Quote: 7-12 - You do an average job, nothing extraordinary, but passable! Quote: Repeating 3s or 4s - You used too many supplies and that's wasteful! Naughty! Cricket might make you earn your supply rights back in a future class! Picking up a nearby medical text, Sheridan flipped through the pages, searching for the symptoms displayed by the dummy, what they meant, and how to treat them. Perhaps unfortunately for the dummy it took him several moments to find the correct page, and another moment of debate with himself before he decided that it was indeed suffering from hypothermia (good thing this wasn't a real person!). He read through the page, peering at the dummy over the edge of the book, then finally set the text aside to begin attending to the dummy. Okay, so he had to warm it up right? So that it wouldn't be cold anymore, that was easy enough, he could breath fire. Oh wait, plasma fire, maybe that wasn't the best idea... Maybe a few blankets and a hot bottle were a better idea! He rummaged through the supplies until he found what he was looking for, a few wool blankets and several heating packs. He shook the packs, activating the heat inside them before setting them on key parts of the dummy, it's hands, feet, and back most notably. The packs set, he covered the dummy with two wool blankets and watched a moment. He grow more and more concerned as the moments past, but was finally rewarded with a reaction as the color of the dummy began to return to normal and it no longer felt so cold to the touch. Hey, he had done it! Though perhaps not so well as he would have liked, maybe the dummy was now warmer than it should have been. Oh, he had used too many heat packs as well, and one blanket would have worked instead of two. He would have to do better next time. (( Score: 9 ))

Attempt two:
Okay, relax Sheridan, you can do this, you have to do this. And maybe don't spend quite so long reading the book this time...

He stepped away from the table, moving to another table that held a different dummy. Okay, so what was wrong with this one? Looking over the dummy, he noticed it displayed the same symptoms as the first, a touch to the 'skin' revealing it too was ice cold as the previous one had been. Odd, he didn't think it was cold in the room, if anything it may have been a bit warm. Then again, he had grown up on the high mountain peeks where the air was thin and cold. Okay then, so it was hypothermia again? He could do that, yep, totally, no problems at all.

Quote: 7-12 - You do an average job, nothing extraordinary, but passable! Quote: Repeating 1s or 2s - You didn't use enough supplies, that's rather lazy and Cricket obviously disapproves of it. He only took a quick glance at the book this time, almost immediately setting to gathering supplies. This time he only collected one blanket and one hot pack. He placed the pack at the center of the dummies back before wrapping it tightly with the wool blanket. That should be enough right? Or so he thought, but it was still several long moments (or maybe they only seemed long to him) before the dummy began to show any changes or signs that he had done anything to it at all. It was just before his patience had reached its limit, at the moment he was debating setting the things feet on fire (THAT would warm it up) when the dummy's temperature began to rise and its color returned to normal. Whew, he had done it, though it seemed he had miscalculated again, this time having used too few heat packs and perhaps that second blanket should have been used after all... (( score: 11 - PASS! ))

Attempt three:
The dragon's tail twitched, his confidence a little stronger than it had been before he'd entered the room. He could do this, he knew he could. How about another try before he called it a day? Alright, one more dummy for today, then he'd come back tomorrow and try again.

He had stepped toward a new dummy, eyes narrowed as he examined it with his gaze first. Half expecting the same symptoms as before, he was startled to find just how warm the dummy was as he touched it, at the moisture beading up on the dummy's 'skin'. The color at the extremities was not the bluish tint he had seen before, but rather it was the face that was discolored, this time with a red tint, almost as if the dummy were blushing. Well, this was certainly different. Where had he put that medical text?

Quote: 7-12 - You do an average job, nothing extraordinary, but passable! Quote: Repeating 3s or 4s - You used too many supplies and that's wasteful! Naughty! Cricket might make you earn your supply rights back in a future class! It didn't take him long to find what he was searching for in the medical text. Only a page away from the hypothermia symptoms he had been examining before he found those that matched the conditions of the current dummy. Dangerously elevated temperature, red gums, excessive sweat, reddish complexion, it all fit with the symptoms for heat stroke. One more look at the book, then he was off for the supplies, rummaging through the various supplies until he found what he was looking for. He returned to the table with a few cold packs, several towels, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and a medium sized metal bowl. The first thing he did was pour the alcohol into the bowl (oops, not the whole bottle, Cricket was not going to like that!). Taking one of the towels, he put it in the bowl with the alcohol until it was thoroughly saturated, then loosing draped it around the dummy's neck to help lower the 'patient's' temperature. With that done, he activated several cold packs which he placed around the dummy similarly to the way he had placed heating packs around the hypothermia patients. Several moments passed, he checked the dummy's temperature, noticing that it had lowered, though not as much as he would have liked. He took another cloth, dipping it in the alcohol as he had the other, placing this one over the dummy's forehead. The effect was slight at first, but in time, the dummy's temperature continued to drop until it finally reached a (presumably) normal level. Success, and yet his calculations were still off, he still wasn't using the ingredients he needed to. Part of being a good healer, a good fighter, was knowing exactly what force and materials to use and conserving that which was excess. Sigh, alright, enough for today. He would come back tomorrow and try again, perhaps with what he had learned (and with the help of a trip to the library) he would fare better next time. (( score: 11 - PASS! ))

Attempt four:
Another day, another chance to learn and succeed at first aid. Stepping through the classroom door, tail flicking behind him, Sheridan immediately strode toward the tables at the center of the room, this time resolved to do better today than he had the day before.
A quick glance around the room for the nurse that was surely watching, his gaze turned toward a nearby table and the dummy that rested on it. Silently he wondered what ailment it had in store for him this time.

The dragon's eyes narrowed as he examined the dummy, poking at it here, prodding it there, and again noticing just how cold it felt. By now these symptoms were familiar to him, though he couldn't help but wonder why all the 'patients' he was given (save for one) seemed to suffer from the same ailment. Was it really that cold in here? Or maybe it was just that -he- was cold? Hmm, he'd never thought about that before, but then, none of his friends had ever complained about being cold around him. Maybe nurse Cricket just really wanted to make sure he knew how to deal with hypothermia... Alright then, he knew how to deal with hypothermia right? No need to even worry about the medical text this time, right?

Quote: 12-16 - Extra good work! Your student can now heal surface wounds!, but not repair HP! This means things like cuts and bleeding that might hinder another character can be patched up! Quote: Repeating 3s or 4s - You used too many supplies and that's wasteful! Naughty! Cricket might make you earn your supply rights back in a future class! Sheridan had immediately grabbed a blanket from a nearby pile and wrapped it around the dummy. With the 'patient' protected against further lose of heat, he quickly scurried for the supplies, gathering several heat packs and a solar blanket (why didn't he think of that before?) and carrying them back to the table. He lifted the blanket only long enough to the activated heat packs around the dummy, one at the back, one at the neck, and a pair each at the extremities of the hands and feet. With that done, he recovered the dummy, wrapping it tightly in the wool blanket before laying the solar blanket loosely over top. A deep breath, a gentle exhale, Sheridan released a small stream of plasma fire just over the solar blanket covering, enough to transfer heat to the blanket and thus the dummy beneath, but not set it or anything else on fire. The effect was almost immediate, a satisfied smile as the dummy's temperature began to raise swiftly and steadily until he was able to remove the solar blanket and leave only the wool one to maintain the stabilizing temperature. Excellent, it seemed he had done far better this time, the 'patient' making a full and swift recovering. Now if only he could do this while better conserving supplies. Well, maybe nurse Cricket wouldn't notice the vastly depleted supply of heat packs, maybe... He could hope couldn't he? (( score: 13 - PASS! ))
