–Various Characters | ||
Overview[]
Characters can become wounded through combat, during raids, or having a fight during the night with a violent survivor such as Roman. Wounds function with similar mechanics to that of illness, except that they are primarily treated with bandages. Bandaging a character and giving them time to rest in a bed during the day and night will allow for a speedy recovery. If the character is only Slightly Wounded, bed rest alone may be sufficient for recovery without additional intervention. Alternatively, characters may seek treatment at the City Hospital from the nurses if they are more than slightly wounded.
