You are a wise woman, a midwife, a medicine man, or just a local healer known to care for the sick and injured. You learned your craft as the assistant of an elder healer, and for a time you lived a quiet life ministering to those who needed your skills. Perhaps you've moved on, or perhaps you maintain a connection with the community you once served. Either way, out in the wider world you discover that you are always in demand.
- Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies:
Cook's utensils, herbalism kit, musical instrument, or woodcarver's tools (two of your choice)
You are very familiar with a wide variety of roots, herbs, and mosses that aid in recovery and health. You can forage for them as long as you are traveling on foot at a normal pace provided that the land offers it, and if you spend a day of travel foraging, you can replenish 1d4 uses of a healer's kit.
Suggested Characteristics
You have been shaped by your time as a healer and the way your local community welcomed you or didn't. You might be suspicious of new people and slow to trust, or you might be kind and patient with strangers who need more grace than you. Your bedside manner might be brusque, friendly, or nonexistent, but it is certainly unforgettable.
