You have been practicing medicinal application for some time now. Trained under a professional, you have honed your skills at saving the sick and injured. Surgery and the bodies biochemical composition are no strangers to you.
- Skill Proficiencies: You can double your proficiency on medical checks to stabilize creatures (humanoids).
- Tool Proficiencies: Linen wraps, scalpels, and other tools come easy. You can use doctors tools to assess people's ailments and provide helpful results.
You have a reputation as a healer of the sick, and are often called upon by those who are diseased or injured. Seeking clients is entirely up to you.
INVESTIGATE: By spending a few moments examining a chemical — a vial of liquid, a packet of ground powder, or the like — you can determine whether the substance is intended to harm or heal (or neither). This examination does not reveal any specific information about the substance(such as that a powder is actually an inhaled poison, or that it paralyzes its victim), only that it is either harmful or helpful to those that it is used on.
