Use Firewood as Splints, like Blood Transfusion

[thygrrr 1]

Broken bones, especially through engine bugs, stupid missteps, or when a zombie hits you good, can be quite crippling.

My suggestion: Add splints, and here's how they could work.

Splints should work like a Player action (much like Blood Transfusions), meaning you need someone ELSE to splint you.

Splinting uses up 1 unit of Wood. Added difficulty: Player is in pain (the painkiller-requiring kind) after the splinting process.

Tadaa... mitigated the bone breaking problem and introduced a new teamplay mechanic, plus a good sink for painkillers. :-)

In addition to splinting, you can still use the morphine on yourself if you have any, of course.

At a later stage, it might be an idea to make morphine work temporarily only (i.e. sooner or later you will have to find someone to properly splint your leg).

A nice way to promote teamplay.
