Your life has been dedicated to helping the sick and the weak, the elderly and infirm. Whether you used magic or medicine, you were an important part of your community, and helped many people and their loved ones get better. You have experience with the herbs and processes of making medicines, and the anatomy of most races is at least vaguely familiar to you.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Medicine
- Tool Proficiencies: Herbalism kit, and Poisoner's kit or other tool of your choice
- Equipment: A healer's kit, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Healer
As a physician, your life's work aided you in being an accomplished healer and medic. You gain the Healer feat, allowing you to mend wounds quickly and get your allies back in the fight. You gain the following benefits:
- When you use a healer's kit to stabilize a dying creature, that creature also regains 1 hit point.
- As an action, you can spend one use of a healer's kit to tend to a creature and restore 1d6 + 4 hit points to it, plus additional hit points equal to the creature's maximum number of Hit Dice. The creature can't regain hit points from this feature again until it finishes a short or long rest.
Suggested Characteristics
Doctors are instrumental to any community, helping the diseased and the infirm, and providing care to any who need. Your character may be a kind soul, a protector and a healer, or an avid scientist, interested in the onward march of biology.
