Re: What does 1 point of burn damage look like?
IDHMBWM, but I recall a section in GURPS Biotech that discusses recovery from burns. Even 1 point is somewhat complicated to recover from.

Some people have survived obscene burns sans medical care. While very rare, I don't think Gurps should completely disallow such events entirely.

Re: What does 1 point of burn damage look like?
In Basic Set, 1 point of damage is automatically healed as soon as the character uses bandages. What is the difference in Bio-Tech, please?

Also, between Bio-Tech, Martial Arts, Low Tech/LTC, and probably something else I'm missing, we really need a Injury & Medicine Compendium by now . . . |

Re: What does 1 point of burn damage look like?
Bio-Tech was supposed to cover all of the healing arts. But the people who wrote it had very detailed knowledge of existing advanced medicine and speculative possibilities, but not so much of herbs and leeches and arrow spoons. Low-Tech and especially LTC1 was an effort to provide suitable horrific details about injury and illness before anesthesia and antisepsis.

Re: What does 1 point of burn damage look like?
Thank you very much for these answers. I have to buy Bio-Tech... And yes, an Injury & medicine compendium could be a very good thing. Or, at least, a good topic for a Pyramid issue.
