Doctor

Heal You Allies and Harm Your Foes

Artificers who pursue the Doctor specialty blend arcane engineering with medical mastery, turning battlefield medicine into a precise and sometimes terrifying science. They can rapidly mend wounds or weaponize their expertise to debilitate foes with surgical efficiency. Their advanced procedures can accelerate an ally’s body to superhuman speed, slow hostile creatures to a crawl, and even pull a fallen comrade back from the brink of death. Whether healer or executioner, a Doctor is always prepared to operate.

This limit increases by two at Artificer levels 9 and 15.

You can use your Medical Dice in the following ways:
