		+
		+	Just like players, pets are incapacitated when one of their Health, Action, or Mind bars reaches zero. At this point, an enemy can execute a "coup de grace" (a.k.a. "deathblow") to kill the pet. All pets have a statistic called "Vitality" that starts at 100/100 and decreases each time they receive a deathblow. When the vitality reaches 75, the pet will suffer a reduction of 25% of its max HAM, leaving it with 75% of its regular life. At 50, a 50% reduction is applied, and at 25, a 75% reduction is applied. A pet cannot be permanently slain and can survive with 0 vitality.
		+
		+	While you can restore some of the lost vitality with a Bio-Engineer's Pet Vitality Medpack, doing so will decrease the maximum vitality. Thus, if a pet is killed enough it will eventually reach a point at which its stat loss cannot be recovered.
		+
		+
		+
		+
		+	There are two ways to do this: activating the "Use Vitality Pack" option by selecting your pet in the datapad, and by targeting your called pet and double-clicking the vitality pack in your inventory. Both methods work; however, if you have multiple vitality packs of varying strengths in your inventory, you should probably use the second method (or the game will choose for you).
		+
		+
		+
		+	What do vitality packs do?
		+
		+	The only purpose of a vitality pack is to restore lost vitality, though some vitality will be permanently lost as a result. Depending on how much vitality your pet has lost and the strength of the vitality pack you are using, you may see anywhere from 1 to 20 points of permanent vitality lost. For example, lets say your pet is at 92/100 vitality - you purchase and apply a 13+ vitality pack A. Your pet should then have 99/99 vitality, a gain of 7 vitality - but also a permanent loss of 1 overall vitality.
		+
		+
		+
		+	How do vitality packs work?
		+
		+	There are a number of common misconceptions about vitality packs, such as "you will only lose 1 point as long as the packï¿½s strength is the same or higher than the current vitality lost," "1 point of permanent loss per 10 points of current vitality loss," and "if you use a strong enough vitality pack you can avoid any permanent loss."
		+
		+	I do not have an equation for you , but what I can provide for you is a guideline for minimizing permanent vitality loss for common ranges.
		+
		+
		+
		+	So what type of vitality pack should I use, and when?
		+
		+
		+	Overall, the most efficient means is to use vitality packs sparingly, and to use the most powerful range you can afford or find.
		+
		+
		+
		+	13-38pt Vitality Pack (A or a low quality B):
		+
		+	Up to 8 lost vitality points restored with minimal loss*
		+
		+	50-70pt Vitality Pack (mid to high B or a low-mid quality C):
		+
		+	Up to 18 lost vitality points restored with minimal loss*
		+
		+	75-100pt Vitality Pack (mid to high C):
		+
		+	Up to 28 lost vitality points restored with minimal loss*
		+
		+	The max ranges listed above are the most you can heal with that type of vitpack before you begin losing 2 or 3 vitality (or more). So, for instance, if you use a vitpack C at 72/100 vitality, your pet should have 99/99 afterward. However, at 70/100 (30 loss), the vitpack will only restore it to 98/98. It is also important to note that there is no noticeable difference in loss over these ranges - a 13pt A will be just as effective as a 38pt A in this range.*
		+
		+
		+
		+	Does the type of vitality pack matter?
		+
		+	No, it does not - a 38 strength B will restore the same amount as a 38 strength A. However, each type of pack has a limit to how high (and low) it can go in strength. For instance, a top-notch vitality pack A maxes out at around 38 strength, while a mediocre B can be 45-50 or more.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Will my pet lose more vitality if his max is lower (i.e. 82/90)?
		+
		+	No, the only important factors are the current amount lost, and the strength of the pack you are intending to use. See the raw data for more info on this.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Q: What happens when I use a vitality pack that is lower than my petï¿½s current lost vitality?
		+
		+	Your pet will be fully restored to a new permanent vitality, but the penalty for this tends to be quite high (up to ~20 pts). See the raw data for some examples.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Q: My pet lost 50 vitality. Can I use two vitality packs, one after the other, to heal him?
		+
		+	No. The first pack you use will do the job, even if the pack is not strong enough, but you will suffer additional vitality loss.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Can I use a vitality pack more than once?
		+
		+	A: No, all vitality packs are one use only.
