Healer's Apprentice

You might not have the years of experience, but after you have been working for a skilled healer, you have a good grasp of how to heal. Maybe you worked under a brave paladin on the front lines, a determined cleric or a healer in your local town. You can restore your party up without a sweat, although not everyone might trust your judgement or skills due to the lack of your experience. Will you convince everyone that you've got what it takes to restore people and maybe grow to be a dedicated and trustworthy healer yourself one day?

Suggested Characteristics

Experience or not, you have devoted a good portion of your life to learning how to heal. No matter how your character observes the world and the creatures in it, your goal will still be to get your patients back to good health. This can be through overflowed optimism, cynical pessimism or anything inbetween.
