Suggested Characteristics
A typical medic is intelligent, curious, and compassionate. Long years spent saving lives means that many medics will beat themselves up if a patient dies. They can be hypochondriacs, are overly aware of any risk, and are often scathing of people who use different types of medicine
| d4 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am a little too safety-aware and find risk-taking difficult. |
| 2 | I am very compassionate. I can't help but try to save others. |
| 3 | Spells? Spells can't do anything next to a good old healer's kit. |
| 4 | If I can't save someone, it's all my fault. |
| d4 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Life. Everything deserves to live. (Good) |
| 2 | Responsibility. People should stop risking their lives and take in the possibility of death. It shouldn't be up to me to save them. (Lawful) |

|---|---|
| 1 | My old master means everything to me. |
