Pressure Suits (not SCUBA suits):
They reduce the amount of bends you take by 1 for each dive down to a
grid location. Note that you MUST take at least one per dive to a
location. e.g. Dives to depth 4, 5, 2, 3, 1 take a total of
3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 11 bends plus 1 per half hour.
Hospital:
The hospital does NOT cure bends. If you are suffering from severe
bends poisoning but are not yet dead from bends, they can keep you from
dying. If you've gone to the hospital and been cured for bends, don't
do it again.
Effects of bends (Bends halves when you sleep each night)
>= Tolerance: Half phi for 24 hours (round up)
>= 2xTolerance: 1/2 phi for 48 hours (round up) and no running
whatsoever. You may not use any martial combat special abilities
>= 3xTolerance: You're dying. You can crawl to the hospital and stay
there overnight while they take care of you and you leave with your
bends halved (like a normal overnight).
>= 4xTolerance: You're dead. See a GM.
