Healer’s Kit

Potions, spells and other magical items are all well and good, but sometimes you just need some good old fashioned healing. By slapping on a bandage or administering a good salve, you can patch up your team without ever having to ask a god for permission. All you need is proficiency in medicine and you can use this kit to its full effect.

Contents

This kit is a leather pouch containing bandages, salves, antidotes, thread, needles, and splintsl
This kit costs 10 gp and weighs 5 lbs, each kit has 10 uses before the supplies must be replaced.

Procedures

When it comes to administering medicines, you must learn the proper Procedures for administering your Healer's Kit. By following the Procedures, you can expend a number of uses of the Healer's Kit to provide an effect to a targeted creature. When you expend a use of the Healer's Kit you must roll a Medicine (Wisdom) check against the DC.
You must have proficiency in the Healer's Kit to perform these Procedures and you must know the Procedures. Most adventurers start out only knowing three Procedures, but they can learn more by meeting with local healers, hospitals or by finding books on health and wellness.

Performing a Procedure

When you perform a Procedure, you must have enough uses in your kit to perform the Procedure and the uses can not be from different Healer's Kits if you have more than one. You can use a short or long rest to organize your Healer's Kits and combine them together.
Upon selecting the Procedure you wish to perform, you must roll a Medicine (Wisdom) check versus the DC of the Procedure. On a success or failure, you expend the uses of your Healer's Kit. If the check is a success, the effect starts immediately. On a fail, nothing happens.
Creatures can only benefit from one Procedure per short rest. Any creature you wish to perform a Procedure on, including yourself, must be a living creature as Procedures have no effect on Undead or Constructs. If you fail a Procedure, the target creature can not be attempted on again until they finish a short or long rest.
Some Procedures can be augmented to have a longer or stronger effect, these are known as Advanced Procedures and they typically have a higher DC. If you attempt an Advanced Procedure and fail the check, the Procedure is a failure, even if you would normally pass the Medicine (Wisdom) check for the non-advanced Procedure.

Healer Feat

Some Procedures have additional effects that are unlocked if you take the Healer feat.
Furthermore, creatures under your care can now gain the benefits of two effects from your Procedures, but the effects can not stack. If a creature is already under the effect of one, the new effect replaces the old.

Cure Disease or Poison

As an action, you can expend two uses of the Kit to neutralize a known poison or disease afflicting a creature. If the target is affected by multiple known diseases, you choose which effect to end. If you do not know what poison or disease is afflicting the creature, any expended uses automatically fail.

Healer's Kit DC: 13
Uses Expended: 2
Healer's Feat: The DC is lowered by 3
Advanced Procedures: By increasing the number of uses expended (by 2), you can attempt to neutralize multiple poisons or diseases afflicting the target creature. For every extra two uses you expend, you can neutralize an additional poison or disease, and the DC is increased by 1.
Example: 10 Uses Expended (max) will neutralize 5 different poisons or diseases and the Healer's Kit DC is 18 (DC 15 for Healer's Feat)
