ISS Inspector B. Brother wrote:In my current game the group is a CS squad with a NPC Medic (using the CS Technical Officer OCC with Medic MOS). However, the standard equipment listed is pretty generic. So I have been looking through the medical equipment as described on pp. 263-264 of RUE. What do you think the CS would issue to a field medic as standard medical equipment?

Thanks in advance.

As a side question: Do you think the CS would put an additive in their medicine that would make it poisonous to non-humans?


First off Read:Force Recon Diary 1969 by Major Bruce H. Norton (Ret) for referance. the best information he was given was that he was not going to be treating patients long term. just long enough for them to survive untill dustoff.

secondly my firend Mark Cook came up with This. it's for a different game system but it's very accurate as to what one would find in a medical vehicle. A Former Trama Surgeon said the following about the page.
Ah Mark,

You came through where a lazy bastard such as myself would not (I knew someone would scream and do it for me!)

That page and the ajoining pages are pure sex on a stick. Thankyou deeply for your addition (although I would just 5x some of the disposable things like needles and stopcocks, since we use them up alot faster than you would expect.)

Thankyou, Danka, Hey yeah!

For fun you could make the Medic a minor psychic with a couple powers from the Healing category.
Some gave all.

okay this is all you need......

One bullet (for the grunt to bite on)

Whiskey (pain killer and antiseptic)

Now have the grunt bite the bullet, then pour two shots of whiskey (for your self and some on wound), then find a non-injured stop and break a bone there thus transferring the pain :clown:

Petrified wood just because we could.

Well, there's always the dark ages medicine. Namely, if you stub your toe, cut the foot off. If you have a headache, flu, ect, slice their wrist and bleed them. There was a medic in Louisburg that used to chop off hands for tooth aches....

The healing powers don't really require that much, or any Super powers to be effective, so Major psionics, especially, can be very capable.

I agree; and, at least, get them some training in that area so, even if their MOS isn't Medic, they're competent at it when the drek starts flying.
