You are a well-trained and studied healer, sworn to cure the ailing and mend the wounded. Your talents may bring you fame and renown, or you might be regarded with suspicion by common people.
When you choose this background, work with your DM to determine the role and prominence of doctors in the world. Is medical knowledge of your kind rare? Are there institutions that teach such healing, and if so, where? Were you self-taught, apprenticed to a village healer, or educated in a medical academy?
- Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, and one from Arcana, Nature, or Religion
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism kit
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A piece of doctor's equipment (such as a scalpel, pouch of aromatic herbs, or a small mirror), a healer's kit, a token of appreciation given to you by a patient, a set of traveller's clothes, and a belt much containing 15 gp.
Your talents make you highly sought after, particularly in regions or communities with little access to medicine. Those who recognize you as a doctor may request your services, and may offer you a reward in return should you choose to provide them. You might be able to receive free or discounted food and lodging, or gain access to normally off-limits locations by leveraging your position as a doctor if your services are needed.
