How often can medicae skill be used?

[Randal 0]

I was just wondering how exactly to control the use of the medicae skill. For example can it just be used once on a character or can you just keep repeating it over and over until the target is fully healed?  If it can only be used once then how long do you wait till performing it again. An hour? A day?

*sigh*  Dammit FFG, please proofread…  The answer was in every preceding game but got dropped???

Okay, there is NOTHING in the rules as written to answer your question, and nothing in the errata either.  But, if it is like every other 40K RPG to date, a wound can be treated with first aid once.  After the medicae attempt has been made, even if it is unsuccessful, a character's wounds are 'treated' and first aid cannot be applied again unless the character gets wounded again.  (And even then, first aid can't raise wounds past the previous 'treated' threshhold.)

There is no limit on extended care, but of course that takes time.

Cheers,

basicly once after combat or a "trap".
