You have spent your life in the service of the mentaly ill and the emotionally lost. You act as an intermediary between society and the mind, performing skills of empathy and manipulation order to guide the mentally unstable into clearity. You are not necessarily a cleric—performing sacred rites, not a full sagely scholar, you are something in between.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, perception
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A [Tooltip Not Found] (a gift to you when you entered the acadamy/apprenticeship), a prayer book or meditation bowl, 5 pills from your old alchemis roomate at the acadamy, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp.
As an Therapist, you command the respect of those who share your practice, and you can practice with those who seek your help or have heard good things about your skill. You and your adventuring companions can expect to receive free healing and care, though you must provide any material components needed for spells. Those who share your practice will support you (but only you) from your socio-economic level and lower.
You might also have ties to a specific temple dedicated to your chosen deity or pantheon, and you have a residence there. This could be the temple where you used to serve, if you remain on good terms with it, or a temple where you have found a new home. While near your temple, you can call upon the priests for assistance, provided the assistance you ask for is not hazardous and you remain in good standing with your temple.
