Surgeon skill heals unconscious Rangers.

First time i had to use Surgeon skill was after having "some fun" at Rail Nomads Camp (I won't spoil). I laughed so much many times in this game :D

I think you have to have a character with the surgeon skill, not sure if can use a healing item to bring them out of an unconscious or worse state. I wasn't able to last night when my Surgeon got knocked unconscious and had healing items available but they seemed to have vanished from my bag right after picking them up - maybe a bug, or maybe I was just panicking because she was going from critical to mortal...

Surgeon allow unconcious rangers to be revivived. I also allow the fixing of broken bones, etc. Field Medic allows you to heal using blood packs and other items. If you select the item in ventory it will tell you what it does and what skill is needed to use it.

You have to "successfully" use the surgeon skill on a unconscious character. You can try as many times as you want until you succeed or the character dies. There is a timer on them you can see as you hover over them.

*CHEAT* I tried saving when this happened to me just before using the surgeon skill so I could reload if they died and try again. They did die and I reloaded, but when you reload your unconscious character is up and around and you can just give them pain pills or whatever you have to bring their health back up.

How do I heal though is the question, yes surgeon wakes up unconsious people, but How do I heal the wounded players?????

[rokenn]

You have to use consumables(blood packs being the most common so far) or find a doc in a town.

Hot key the blood pack, activate it and click the portrait of the character to be healed.

Everytime I have used surgen skill the Party members die through bleed out because the skill always fails.

On the field medic and surgeon skills, we really wanted to make sure that we got those right since they're such a pillar of the gameplay. We want to achieve the feeling of a scarcity and not being able to properly heal and revive your party when they go down has a huge negative impact. Watching twitch streams, we found that very few people understood how to do this properly and even when they did, there was a good chance it wouldn't revive your character. That sucks...

The feedback for what to do when your PC goes down will be much better. Also, information on healing items to be used by your medic is drastically improved. In the current iteration, when a PC goes down and you use the surgeon skill on him, it will "cease the bleeding" so they won't be going closer to death. It will take the surgeon a full turn to apply the healing and will heal a certain amount based on the item used and the surgeons skill level, but they will be taken out of the fight while they are busy working on the downed PC.

This also ties into healing over time. That's a bit of a longer reply and I'll get to it soon but for now...back to work!

The surgeon skill has a very low success rate for some reason, you need to raise it a lot in order for it to be reliable.
