When the bullets start flying someone has to be there to patch up the holes. It’s not a glamorous job, but somebody’s gotta do it!
The Medicae skill gives the ability to heal wounds and endurance, to craft different tiers of medtech items, and to perform medical Analysis. You will be granted a number of Medical Work Points (MWP) per event in order to craft items.
In order to undertake the Analysis ability of this skill, you must first craft a Multispectrum Systems Analyser (also called a “Medispec”). This takes the form of a small portable computer that assists with a variety of medical tasks, and must be physrepped by the player. This is a lammie item. Without a lammie attached to an appropriate physrep, you cannot use the Analyse ability of the Medicae skill. Vrede may use their Omnispec in place of a Medispec.
All actions (analysing, crafting) taken using this skill require appropriate roleplay and physreps. Please note that although physreps of tools are not required to be LARP-safe, you must refrain from using any sharp or pointed objects for safety reasons.
Using this skill to make the Heal Wound call requires both the target and healer to remain stationary for the duration; if either of them moves from their position, the count is reset for the Wound that is currently being restored. During the use of the Stabilise and Restore Endurance calls, the target and healer may move slowly.
It is possible, through craftable items or other means, to reduce the time it takes to use this skill. However, the minimum time it can ever take to activate the Stabilise and Restore Endurance call is 10 seconds, and to activate the Heal Wound call is 20 seconds.
You can use Medicae to Restore Endurance to yourself, but you cannot Stabilise yourself, or heal your own wounds.
Tier 1
May spend 10 seconds treating a target to call “Stabilise”.
May spend 30 seconds treating a target to call “Restore Endurance 1”.
May spend 60 seconds treating a target to call “Heal Wound”.
Has 10 MWP per event.
May Craft standard tier med-tech items.
May Analyse standard tier medical problems (requires a Medispec).
Rule 2 of Green Cloaks basic training: shoot them in the head, preferably from a vast distance away.
Using specialised ammunition, a marksman may eliminate threats from a distance, or use wellplaced shots to rend limbs.
The Rifle skill and a rifle physrep are required in order to use this skill. One marksman round must be expended for each use of a call granted by this ability. A physical round does not need to be fired or hit the target in order for the calls granted by this ability to be used.
All calls used with the Marksman skill have a limited range of 100 metres (300 feet). Aiming must be uninterrupted for use of this skill: if you break line of sight with the target for longer than 5 seconds, then you must start your skill count again. You may only move at a slow walking pace whilst using this skill.
Shields may break line of sight to the target’s head, preventing the use of the Fatal call, however the marksman may still be able to use the same preparation period to make the Rend call instead if they do not lose line of sight to the target as a whole. Lining up a shot for Fatal or Rend will not break Stealth, but making the call itself will.
The time it takes to use this skill is reduced for a character of the Human Sniper class, and can also be reduced by certain crafted items. However, the minimum time it can ever take to activate the Rend or Fatal call is 30 seconds, taking into account all modifiers.
Tier 1
May expend a marksman round to call “MarksmanFatal” or “MarksmanRend ” after 60 seconds of uninterrupted aiming.
To call MarksmanFatal, you must be able to see the head of the target without breaking line of sight for more than 5 seconds.
To call MarksmanRend, you must be able to see any part of the target without breaking line of sight for more than 5 seconds.
Tier 2
May expend a marksman round to call “MarksmanFatal” or “MarksmanRend ” after 55 seconds of uninterrupted aiming.
To call MarksmanFatal, you must be able to see the head of the target without breaking line of sight for more than 5 seconds.
To call MarksmanRend, you must be able to see any part of the target without breaking line of sight for more than 5 seconds.
Once per day, may call “MarksmanRend ” without expending a marksman round.
Tier 3

Twice per day, may call “Resist Wound” when a Wound is taken to instead fall unconscious on zero Endurance. You may use this ability when Exhausted without it causing an additional wound.

You’ve been through all the training, you’ve used these things before, so what’s the worst that could happen? But to be on the safe side, you might want to get everybody else a safe distance away before attempting to cut the right wire.
The Explosives skill allows the use of the many types of explosive devices found in the game. More complex and dangerous explosives require a higher tier of experience and training. It also allows the setting and Defusing of explosive traps.
Tier 1

The ability to make and maintain weapons, armour and equipment for the troops. The Engineering skill gives the ability to analyse, craft, repair, and hack different tiers of technology. You will be granted a number of Engineering Work Points (EWP) per event in order to craft items. In order to undertake the Hacking or Analysis abilities of this skill, you must first craft a Multispectrum Systems Analyser (also called a “Multispec”). This takes the form of a small portable computer that assists with a variety of engineering tasks, and must be physrepped by the player. This is a lammie item. Without a lammie attached to an appropriate physrep, you cannot use the Hack or Analyse abilities of the Engineering skill. Vrede may use their Omnispec in place of a Multispec. All actions (analysing, crafting, repairing, and hacking) taken using this skill require appropriate roleplay and physreps. Please note that although physreps of tools are not required to be LARP-safe, you must refrain from using any sharp or pointed objects for safety reasons.
Life can be tough, and life on the front lines even more so. Years of heavy lifting, training, physical combat and survival in harsh climates have paid off, giving the ability to use your brute strength to protect, aid, and destroy.
