Psychiatrist Image

You have spent your life studying how medicine relates to the psyche. Choose a specialty of focus for treatment methodology (e.g. neuromodulation, alchemical pharmacology, talk therapy, magical intervention) and choose a primary treatment focus (e.g. PTSD of the Undead, Fey Hysteric Personality Disorder, Humanoid Schizoid, Gnomish Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder). You're far more familiar with the darkness of the humanoid spirit than most and can connect with even the most outcast of members empathically.

Feature: Medical Practitioner

As a medical practitioner, you are always welcome at places of healing. You and your adventuring companions can expect to receive free care at places of healing that abide by your dogma. Those who are unknowledgeable about the psyche will look upon you with disdain.

You might also have ties to a specific research organization dedicated to psychiatric study. You can always reach out to this organization for assistance so long as it pertains to your research and has the proper funding (or the promise of proper funding). 

 
 
Suggested Characteristics

Psychiatrists are practitioners of medicine with a focus on the psyche. They often carry with them the burden of a non-neurotypical psychology. Frequently they have family members affected by disease. Occasionally they found their passion for the psyche by starting out with the study of healing. They tend to have flaws by empathizing too readily with creatures, forming attachments stronger than that which they are ready for.
