He starts with 11 wounds. In the first turn he loses 3 to get a corpse marker, down to 8, in the second turn he regenerates 1, to 9, then loses 3 to get another corpse marker, down to 6, turn three, plus 1 to 7, and then minus 3 to 4, turn four, plus 1 to 5, minus 3 to 2. Turn five, usually being the last turn of the game, he can just find a bone if it's really needed. I guess it doesn't require any working around as a potential nine extra corpse markers a game, produced from nothing, is more than enough to swing the game in favour of Nico.
