Path of the Vampire forum

I was just conversing with another player about wounds and long term results for paladins and humans. They are still human so regenerating doesn't happen. Does that mean if they have been shot six times in the groin before arriving to the hospital that it likely isn't going to ever be what it used to be as would be the expectation of most humans getting shot repeatedly there with high powered weapons? I know it is odd to ask but trying to keep it as real as possible for rp sake. In the very least I would think significant disfigurement would be a result.Yes, I am all for owning the details.

She ninja'd me

So question.. human characters that got shot repeatedly in the nuts.. are they eunuchs?

We were talking and .. it's a legit question, that would have repercussions icly.

All the Paladins that got multiple groin shots.. not one or two, but if they took three or more shots to the groin, I can imagine that, that area was mostly hamburger, and the only recourse that surgeons would have would be to debride the dead and damaged tissue.

Humans do not regenerate.

And to quote the other player Esli: " Being in the medical profession I will say any human getting shot there that many times in a single event with that considerable high powered weapon will be disfigured"

So it is a legit reaction for my Character, who helped with a lot of the groin shots, Who is also a Doctor to realize this about those characters?

Yeah, willing to own it. Highly doubt Esli will be investing money in cosmetic surgery and time on getting that working when there are vamps fangs to be extracted from jaws as far as he is concerned.

Well that's not totally True Sorcerers can heal wounds so that would be a type of regeneration wouldn't it ? or Paladin Sorcerers It might be strange for Mona to Heal Elsi's Nuts but I'm sure she would do it XD

I always thought Mona was more of a 'ball buster'... >.> <3

Even with the Sorcerer power, there's only so much healing that could be done...since there are limits.

She was pretty much mince meat too on one of those attacks. Heal is my real question. Heal with absolutely no lasting traces of the wound's damage or lasting deficit of that area of the body? We have heal the negative effects on some powers with the wound still visible. Just trying to see how the paladins heal up. I guess I just see there having to be something lingering that represents their human species and their vulnerability from the immortal and regenerating back to flawlessness species. Mona is the Paladin's own Florence Nightingale.

When Humans go to war.. they get hurt. They have scars. Sometimes those scars are physically debilitating. Especially when the human had been brought to the point of death.

Something should separate Human characters vs Immortals. Humans carry their scars.. Immortals, have fangs.

healing is healing, regenerating is regenerating... I have quite a few wounds...that are healed...but in no way does it look like it was regenerated...the wounds are closed and i am alive... that is healed... regenerated is like it never happened.., I am a hunter, and have been in EMS for over 15 years... even 1(one) shot from a .308 to the groin... any "healing" would involve the removal of everything, and stitching it shut with a drain tube and a bag..... just saying if you going for reality, that is the reality of it ;) because tbh, as everything there is considered "soft tissue" even parts not hit by the bullet, would be destroyed from hydrostatic shock.

Hydrostatic shock or hydraulic shock is a term which describes the observation that a penetrating projectile can produce remote wounding and incapacitating effects in living targets through a hydraulic effect in their liquid-filled tissues, in addition to local effects in tissue caused by direct impact.[1][2] Just as force applied by a pump in a hydraulic circuit is transmitted throughout the circuit because of the near incompressibility of the liquid, so the kinetic energy of a bullet can sometimes send a shock wave through the body, transferring physical shock to tissues whose physiologic function may be disrupted by it (especially in the circulatory or nervous systems).

it is entirely possible for a heavy PSP like a 180grain sierra game king or a Barnes-x to hit a human in the buttock, and blow his lungs and heart apart, as there are several documented cases in the hunting world with man size critters, and i am sure the DOD records are filled with similar references.

Maybe he went for the least costly patch up and just had everything trimmed off and they formed a little kangaroo type pouch in its place and now he has a extra pocket of sorts to carry spare ammo? Specialties, especially surgeons takes months to get in just for an evaluation. No time or money to waste when the Lost Boys are out there running loose.
