Academic Discipline - Physician

Overview & Creation

Physicians bring their considerable intellect to bear healing the sick and tending to the wounded. They spend their lives studying anatomy and the inner workings of mortals, and they use this knowledge to keep their allies in top condition. Using their medical training, they offer aid to those who don't have access to the luxury of divine or arcane healing magic.

Class Features

Student of Medicine

When you join this Academic Discipline at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Medicine and with herbalism kits, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any check you make with either skill. If you are already proficient in either, you gain proficiency with another skill from the savant skill list. Moreover, your studies grant you the following benefits:

• You can make Intelligence (Medicine) checks in place of any Wisdom (Medicine) checks you would make
• If you spend at least 1 minute examining a creature, you can identify any disease, poison, or curse affecting it.
• Once per turn, when you hit the target of Adroit Analysis with a weapon attack, you can reduce its speed by a number of feet equal to 5 times your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 5 feet) until the beginning of your next turn.

 

Combat Medic

You can administer aid in the midst of combat. Beginning at 3rd level, you can use an Action to use the following abilities:
Adrenaline Jolt. A creature you touch can immediately repeat a saving throw to end one of the following conditions: blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, or poisoned, adding your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to their roll.
Dress Wounds. You touch a creature and expend an Intellect Die, immediately granting it temporary hit points equal to your Intellect Die roll + your Intelligence modifier.
Healing Surge. A creature you touch can instantly expend one of its Hit Dice to regain hit points equal to its Hit Die roll + its Constitution modifier + your Intelligence modifier.
Stabilize. You touch a living creature that has 0 hit points, automatically stabilizing them. The target can then choose to expend one of their Hit Dice to regain hit points equal to the maximum value of that Hit Die + their Constitution modifier.

Field Doctor

You can move across the battlefield unscathed. Starting at 6th level, when you use your action to stabilize a creature, restore hit points, or grant temporary hit points, you gain the benefits of the Dodge action until the start of your next turn. Additionally, when you use a Combat Medic action on your turn, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Advanced Combat Medic

Starting at 13th level, you use your knowledge of medicine to perform wondrous feats. As an action, you can touch a willing creature and use one of the abilities listed below. You can use the abilities below a combined number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Regeneration. The creature regains hit points equal to four rolls of your Intellect Die. If the creature has a severed body part, you can reattach it as part of this action.
Restoration. You end one of the following conditions currently affecting it: blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, a reduction to an ability score or its hit point maximum, or you reduce its level of exhaustion by 1.
Resuscitation. If the creature has died within the last minute, you return it to life with 1 hit point. You cannot bring back a creature that died of old age, nor can you restore any body parts the creature is missing.

Master Physician

Your medical knowledge is without peer. Beginning at 17th level, whenever you restore hit points or grant temporary hit points to a creature, it gains the maximum possible amount of hit points, in place of rolling. Also, any creature that expends a Hit Die while within 30 feet of you treats their Hit Dice as its maximum possible roll.
