The Medical Sourcebook

Luwingo_Spince · Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2014 2:31 pm Post subject: The Medical Sourcebook

Need some help with the layout to make it flow smoothly. I will also be posting certain stats and rules to see if they make sense to the greater majority. but first lets concentrate on the layout.
So here's the layout I have so far.

Chapter One: Medical Skills
Description of Medical skills a medic needs and the various rules to use them.

Chapter Two: Diseases + Symptoms
Detailed rules and stats for every Disease I could find plus how different symptoms affect you gamewise.

Chapter Three: Medical Facilities around the Galaxy
Stats and rules for hospitals around the galaxy

Chapter Four: Medical Equipment
Medical equipment, medical drug rules, and Medical Vehicles

Chapter Five:Medical Personnel around the Galaxy
Medical Droids, Npc's and famous examples of each medical profession

Chapter Six: Illegal or Questionable Medical Procedures
Cloning, Bioweapons, Enchanting cybernetics, weaponized cybernetics, Yuuzhan vong bio tech

Chapter Seven: Species that make great medics (Haven't named this one yet)

Is there information you think I need to add or change the layout somehow to make it flow better?

Some of those chapters won't be that large. Specifically the medical droids and vehicles. Perhaps you should colapse these into the medical equipment chapter.

Don't forget about cybernetics, maybe its own chapter on attachment and healing times, and listing parts and costs under equipment. Cracken's Rebel Field Guide had some info on cybernetics.

Garhkal- Yeah I had misgivings about giving Medical vehicles it's own chapter I will incorporate it into the medical equipment chapter.

Now the Medical droids I currently have 20 different droids for about 18 pages. That might warrant its own chapter since lumping it in with medical equipment which is already the largest chapter. Maybe I could also put them in Medical personnel chapter even though they are droids they do most of the medical procedures in the SW galaxy.

Griff- Thanks for the suggestion but I do have Cybernetics in two different chapters actually. The first is replacement cybernetics in the Medical Equipment chapter and the Enchanting cybernetics and weaponized cybernetics in the Questionable Medical procedures chapter.

The reason i separated them was the thought that respectable surgeons would not agree to perform an operation that involved grafting a cannon on your hand or gave you super strength.

Looks good, Luwingo. And I think placing the droids in the chapter on personnel is a good call.

DougRed4- thanks!

Garhkal- There were a few in the later conversion guides that weren't in the droid pdf. I also made some stats for droids that appear in the EU that haven't been statted yet. For example the MD line of droids only the MD-5 droid has been officially statted but we are given fluff text about the other 4 droids from that i was able to create stats for them.

That looks like a pretty well-thought out layout for the most part. I'm looking forward to you releasing it.

Are you going to focus on just cyberware, or try and also hit bioware (like shadow run) does>
