Field Medic Image

You weren’t trained in dusty libraries—you learned medicine where it mattered: on the battlefield, in plague-ridden towns, or patching up idiots who thought they could fight a troll. You’ve seen blood, panic, and death… and learned how to stop at least one of those.

You’re not just a healer—you’re the reason people survive long enough to need one.

Feature: Triage Expert

When someone is injured, you instinctively assess severity.

  • You can quickly determine:
    • How injured a creature is (approximate HP condition)
    • Whether a creature is diseased, poisoned, or dying
  • Outside combat, you can stabilize creatures without a check
  • Once per long rest, when you use a healer’s kit, you can restore extra hit points equal to your proficiency bonus

(You don’t guess—you decide who lives first.)
