So for years, my group and I thought that when you apply first aid, on a success you lower the patient's damage level by 1. We took that to mean that you lower the damage to one below the damage level being healed. So if you've got 9 boxes of damage, you're at a serious wound, so when you are healed, you are healed to one below serious, meaning 5 boxes. Is this correct or is this something we've made up? I couldn't find any clear cut way of going about this.

Thanks for your advice!

We always applied it Serious -> Moderate -> Light.

You can only heal one level max.

Yeah, but those levels are a range of boxes, so which one do you pick?

You've made it up (or maybe carried it over from a previous edition). P127: "When one Damage Level is healed, the damage on the Condition Monitor drops to the lowest point for the next Damage Level."

There's room to argue that that doesn't apply, as it appears in a section about healing and the First Aid section says that the damage is reduced rather than healed, but taking this interpretation means there's no guidance on what happens.
