2/ If you have a "stretcher" 2 men and first aid basic can you move someone from the site of battle (as long as you stay with them holding the wound shut etc)?

3/ If you have someone with strength fear and basic FA can you move someone from the site of battle?

4/ Poultice, can you make this with First Aid skill?

5/ You need Feign Death to fake being dead, you need Coup de Gras to hit someone on the ground. This i am very happy with . If someone falls over from a normal wound, do you need Coup De Gras to chop em up, just to "make sure"? Or do you have to spend their life clock doing so, which make sense to me or it would void the skills above?

It does, aye.

You might need two people to do the carrying and a third for the first aid, but that doesn't sound unreasonable.  Will have a ponder and let you know.

I don't think I understand the question; if you're carrying someone using your strength, you're not fulfilling the requirement that you use First Aid to the exclusion of all other activities.

Nope, you need Pharmacy.

Firstly, it's Coup de Grace (pronounced "coo duh grass", meaning "blow of mercy") as opposed to Coup de Gras (pronounced "coo duh grah", meaning "blow of fat").  It's a little thing but it bugs the hell out of me. *grin*

Secondly, yeah.  If someone's on the ground looking dead, it can only be because a) they've just had the crap beaten out of them or b) they're using Feign Death.  Anything else is explicitly cheating.  You do indeed need Coup de Grace to finish them off, even though it might not make much sense as such -- it's a game balance thing.  Coup de Grace is the skill you need if you want to execute someone, for example.  You could also pour venom on them to make their wounds go septic and then shiv anyone who tries to heal them, though ;-)

5/ Bit of net dyslexia(sp?) kicking in, apologies. Cool by me, I can go back and go nur nur de nur nur to the person I was debating it with yesterday

5.  It's a common mispronunciation, so don't worry about it ;-)  And, yeah, looks like whoever you were debating with yesterday was wrong.

Basically, Oli and I have been to systems where you're not allowed to hit people on the floor for safety reasons, but where players would lie on the floor and pretend to be dead.  We don't like this (where's the pool of blood seeping out from under?), so we decided to introduce Feign Death and make that the only way to "play dead."  We then wanted a way for people to finish people off if they're on the floor, so we added Coup de Grace.

Unfortunately for people using Feign Death, you very much count as being a valid target for Coup de Grace, which could prove very embarrassing...

I have a couple of questions / assumptions I want to check about first aid:

Basic - means that "you are able to pause their Life-Clock", so, if you stop doing first aid then they must continue counting from where they left off? (The alternative being that it resets back to full Life-Clock count)

Intermediate - "By using a bandage and spending a minute treating the location, you can stabilise your patient’s wounds", if you had been treating an unconcious patient they would presumably still be unconcious as there wouldn't have only been stabilised, not healed...so if someone were to remove the bandage, then they would no longer be stable and would be back to the counting...

Cheers,

Intermediate: Once you have treated, bandaged and stabilised them then they can come round, get up and move.  Its important to note that they havent got their hits back and are thus still broken.  Another hit and its back to the floor.
