RE: [DL] Bleedin'

You don't stop bleedin'.  I suppose to allow for clotting and whatnot,
you could allow a vigor roll once a round at the appropriate Tn for that
wound.  But as the rules stand, you just bleed, pardner, until someone
sticks a bandage or whatnot on there.  Since its only a 3 TN to cure
wind, and thus stop bleeding, most folks can at least pull off a default
medecine roll for a little first aid.

And you are correct.  Wind keeps dropping, and every multiple of their
max wind hits their guts for another wound from blood loss.  As you
said, most folks won't survive more than a couple minutes, which makes
sense, givn the description of a serious, heavy, and maimed wound.

Greetings, again.

I have a question that I couldn't quite answer with the rule book last
night, but it was late, I was tired, and I might have just missed
something. It's a pretty simple question:

At what point does a character with a Serious or worse wound stop
bleeding? Only when medical treatment is received?

A related question is what happens to a character's Wind once it reaches
the negative of their original Wind and they take the wound to the Guts?
Does it keep going down, doing additional wounds at each multiple of
their original Wind, or something else?

Reading the rules makes it look like it's /very/ likely a wounded
character will bleed to death if there isn't a doctor or supernatural
healing available within a few minutes. That doesn't really bother me,
but I don't understand exactly how it all happens. How does that "magic
hour" fit into that bleeding rule? I can't imagine anyone with a Serious
or worse wound living much more than 10 minutes. (120 rounds x 1 Wind +
10 Wind for natural recovery is still -110 Wind. A character with 18
Wind to start with is dead at that point, even if they had no Guts
wounds and all of their Wind when they started bleeding.)

Help!

Thanks!

Jason
