You are in service to the people: commoners, criminals, and everyone in between. You’re able to use the tools you have on hand to treat numerous injuries and illnesses, though your methods leave much to be desired. You can’t hold water to conventional medicine or a cleric’s prayer, but you pull through for your patients. Of course, those who come into your care needn’t know of the illegitimacy of your profession, and you needn’t add stress to their situation. As long as your patients live to see another day then you’ve done your job...even if the problem resurfaces later.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Medicine, Survival, or Deception
- Tool Proficiencies: Alchemist's Supplies, Herbalism Kit
- Equipment: A set of scholar’s robes, “Doctor” Bag (Healer’s Kit with missing and improvised tools), The Book of Quick Fixes (Doctor’s Journal), and a belt pouch containing 5 gp.
As one that offers your “expertise” discreetly and for dirt cheap, you’ve come to notice that your patients tend to repay you in kind. For your services, commonfolk are more likely to open their doors to you, offer a place to stay, or even vouch for you in times of need. On the other end, the more shadier individuals you aid may be more inclined to offer you information or even owe you a favor. As word of your deeds spread, even shopkeepers can be convinced to offer you discounts when you need to restock your medical supplies.
Suggested Characteristics
Life on the streets is never easy but that life lead you to your work, and your work has shaped you as an oddity. Those around you aren't quite sure what to make of you. To be honest, you're not quite sure yourself.
