The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Heart Attack
When the blood supply to the heart is blocked, it
causes a heart attack. This can happen naturally, but
also due to sudden stress, or through poisons, magical
interventions, etc. In most cases a heart attack is
fatal, however, some qualified physicians have their
own methods to at least try to help the victim, often
reaching for herbal mixtures, potions or special
techniques of exerting pressure on the chest.
Heart attack is considered a Critical Injury with
the severity of Daunting (kkkk) and the following
effect: The target suffocates (see Suffocation,
Genesys Core Rulebook, p. 112) until the Critical
Injury is healed.
a Formidable (kkkkk) Medicine check targeting
an engaged character who has died within
the last round. If the check is successful, the target
character is saved, returning to life at one
wound below double their wound threshold,
but one of their limbs is permanently lost.
