First Aid

Determine Creature Status
Skill Ability
Standard Action [REC 1]
Target: One creature you can see
Effect: You take a few moments to examine a creature, attempting to determine how much damage it has suffered. Make a First Aid check [DC 10]. The type of creature you are examining may modify this check. If you succeed the check, you know the target's approximate hitpoint status to the closest 25% (i.e. close to full, about ¾ remaining, ½ remaining, ¼ remaining, or almost 0).

Focus Action [FT 4, REC 2]
Range: Touch
Target: One creature (not you).

You grant the target a special Saving Throw against one of the following conditions (providing it is a condition with a duration of Save Ends): Ongoing Damage, Asleep, Blinded, Confined, Deafened, Entangled, Hobbled, Nauseated, Pain, Paralyzed, Restrained, Sickened, Staggered, Stupefied, Unconscious, and Weakened. The target's saving throw is made against the result of your First Aid check, instead of the normal attribute.
