Field Medic

You’ve seen the worst wounds the world can offer—burns, blades, and the slow rot of plague—and learned how to keep people alive through it all. Whether you served on a battlefield, tended to the sick in a temple infirmary, or patched up adventurers in the wild, you know that every heartbeat matters. You keep calm when others panic, crack jokes when fear sets in, and move with practiced precision when blood starts flowing.
To you, saving lives isn’t just a duty—it’s who you are.

Ability Scores: Wisdom is your most vital trait — it fuels your keen perception, steady focus, and expert medical judgment. A strong Constitution helps you endure long hours under stress and pain. Dexterity is also valuable, reflecting the careful precision of your hands when every second counts.

Feat: You’ve learned to keep your cool while blood and chaos swirl around you. When an ally within 5 feet of you drops to 0 HP, you can use your reaction to automatically stabilize them without needing to roll Medicine, provided you have a healer’s kit or bandages on hand. You can also perform first aid under duress: you don’t suffer disadvantage on Wisdom (Medicine) checks caused by environmental factors like smoke or combat

Tool Proficiencies: Healer's kit, Herbalism kit

Languages: one of your choice

Equipment: A healer’s satchel with 10 uses, a holy charm or lucky token from someone you saved, common clothes, and a pouch with 10 gp
