Medic - Class Progression

"I'm not a miracle worker. I'm just the only thing between you and a body bag. Hold still."

You are what passes for healthcare in the Outer Rim: street doc, combat medic, or corporate trauma surgeon who burned out. In gritty the system, you are *mandatory* because Injuries don't vanish and Dying kills.

**Source Material:** Atomic TC Doctor / Medical Droid, Expertise: Medical Science, Treatment, Force Healing (for cross-ref)

**Primary Abilities:** INT, AWE, PRE

**Secondary:** STA, AGI

**Saves:** Fortitude (High), Will (High), Toughness (Low - you wear scrubs or light flak)

**Attack:** +0.5 per level (Poor), Parry/Dodge: Medium

Hit Points are Lies - You Fix Injuries

Medic has no Healing array at-will. All your cures require **Medical Kit** (1cr/600cr, +2 Treatment if quality) and time, or **Medpac** (1cr/100cr, single-use Healing 1 Stabilize only). Real healing is slow.

Feature Details

**Medical Training (L1):** Treatment and Expertise: Medical Science max ranks = Level+5 (breaks cap). You can Take 10 (treat d20 as 10 when not threatened) on Treatment even under fire if you have a Medpac/Medkit.

**Stimpack Proficiency (L1):** Stims are not spice. 1 stim = remove Dazed *or* grant +2 Toughness vs next Damage (lasts 1 round) *or* +2 to next Fortitude vs poison/disease. Takes Standard to apply. You can craft 3x stims per day with 10 min and a Medkit, cost 0.

**Triage (L2):** As Move action, assess all visible creatures within 20m: learn Injury count, Staggered, Dying, Poison/Disease, cybernetics. +5 to Insight vs feign death.

**Stabilize as Move (L2):** Treatment DC 15 to remove Dying becomes Move not Standard. DC 20 to remove Bleeding/Poison as Move.

**Field Surgery (L3):** With 10 minutes uninterrupted and Medkit, remove ONE Injury (-1) from a willing/restrained target. This is the *only* non-Force way to remove Injury outside bacta/rest rules. Target must then rest 1 hour before another attempt. You take -2 to next check if you fail by 5+ (you nicked something).

Check: Treatment DC = 10 + Injuries total on target + 5 if Staggered. Success removes 1 Injury. 2 degrees (DC+5) removes 2.

**Stim Application (L3):** As Standard, apply stim that grants: +2 Damage for 3 rounds (combat stim - Fort DC 15 or -1 Injury after), or +5 speed for 3 rounds, or ignore 1 Injury penalty for 3 rounds (pain suppressant).

**Auto-Doc Uplink (L4):** If you have a Droid companion or a ship's med-suite within comlink range (20m), you gain +4 circumstance to Treatment and can treat at 10m via remote arms.

**Antitoxin Synthesis (L4):** 1/hour, create anti-toxin/anti-rad dose. Grants +5 Fortitude vs one poison/disease type (choose when crafting), lasts 8h.

**Emergency Resuscitation (L5):** Ranged 10m Stabilize with dart pistol (counts as Ranged Treatment). Can Stabilize Dying through armor.

**Revive Incapacitated (L5):** Standard: Treatment DC 20 to wake Incapacitated (from damage, not Dying) to Staggered + Dazed 1 round. Costs 1 Medpac.

**Cybernetic Integration (L6):** Install/Remove Cybernetics with 1 hour work, Treatment DC 20 + cyber rating. Failure = 1 Injury on patient. You can integrate to negate cyber rejection: target ignores first cybernetics Complication.

**Poison Immunity Self (L6):** After handling so many toxins, you get Immunity 2 (Poison) Limited to Half Effect (+5 Fort vs poison).

**Mass Triage (L7):** Once per scene, Standard: Treatment Burst 8m. Roll one Treatment check, apply vs each Dying/Incapacitated ally in area - Staggered stays but Dying removed if you beat DC 15.

**Rapid Patch (L7):** Field Surgery time drops to 5 min, Stabilize becomes Move -> Swift.

**Bacta Weave Mastery (L8):** Your custom bacta wraps healinjuries at double rate: 1 Injury per 2h rest (not 4h) when your patch is applied. Requires 1 Medpac per 2 injuries.

**Revivify – Your Signature: Resurrect Very Recent Dead (L9):** This is your old house rule, kcrt. If a creature **died** (failed Dying Fort, not disintegrated) within **3 rounds** (18 seconds), you can attempt Treatment DC **20** (was 25 – lowered for gritty playability) as 1 full round. On success they return at **Incapacitated + 3 Injuries + Staggered**, stable. Costs 2 Medpacs (was 3) + 1 Hero Point from you or them. You must be adjacent, have Medkit. Failure by <5 = can retry next round if still within 3-round window. Failure by 5+ = no more retries, they are truly dead. Cannot be used again on same target for 24h. At L10 Miracle Worker capstone this becomes Ranged 10m, no cost, 1 Injury only.

Gritty note: This is *not* Raise Dead. It's "you just died on the table, I shocked you back." 3 rounds keeps tension – if combat is still going and you are 2 moves away, you might not make it.

**Lasting Injury Mitigation (L9):** When you Revivify or remove final Injury from Staggered target, you can downgrade a lasting injury Complication to a 1-scene Hindrance with Treatment DC 20.

Talent Trees - Pick ONE per Talent Slot

You don't get free-form powers. At each Talent level, choose 1:

**Talent 2 (L4):**

**Surgeon:** Field Surgery DC -5, can remove 2 Injuries on 1 degree of success instead of 2.

**Pharmacologist:** Stim Application now lasts 5 rounds, can make 6/day. Create Adrenal Surge (extra Standard 1/round for 2 rounds, then 2 Injuries on crash - Fort DC 18 negates).

**Angel of Mercy Capstone (L10):** Once per scene, touch: instantly remove ALL Injuries + Staggered + Dazed, wake Incapacitated.

Costs all remaining Medpacs (min 1) even when healing non-dead.

You are the only one who can bring them back. When someone goes Dying, the table looks at you. If you fail, they die. That is the grit.
