Combat Medic

All out battle and combat is the most dangerous place for a person. There are many hazards in these situations looking to cut an individual's life short. These dangers, however, are mitigated by an order of soldiers known as the combat medics.

These individuals are trained in both sword and spell, using their magics to reinvigorate and restore their allies, returning them to the fight. As fighters themselves, the combat medics still have a background in the art of combat, and should not be underestimated. After all, in order to be a medic, you should have an experience in how to mend a broken body, as well as how to put it into that state in the first place....

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
