First aid (Cyberpunk RED)
Skills
Definition
First Aid represents your ability to provide emergency medical treatment—stopping bleeding, stabilizing wounds, and keeping someone alive until they can get proper medical care. First Aid uses your TECH stat and is the basic medical skill everyone should have. While it won't fix everything, it can mean the difference between death and survival.
How it works
**Linked Stat**: TECH
**Key Uses**:
- Stabilizing wounded characters
- Stopping critical bleeding
- Basic wound treatment
- Emergency medical care
**Limitations**: First Aid can stabilize and provide basic treatment. Serious injuries require the Medtech's Medicine ability.
Tips
**Build Advice**: Everyone should have at least basic First Aid. When someone goes down, you don't want to watch them bleed out.
**Equipment Matters**: First Aid kits and medtech gear provide bonuses. Carry them.
**Know Your Limits**: First Aid can't cure everything. For serious injuries, you need a Medtech.
