Feature: Medical Professional

Your medical experience is always in demand. Anywhere where people are gathered, you are likely to find work tending the sick, administering aid to those who need it. This work is almost always enough to keep you clothed and fed in a manner reflecting the wealth of your patients, and serves an excellent way to get to know the locals.

Variant background: Quack

You have medical knowledge... Or so you you would have people believe. You have no medical training, and most of your knowledge of medicine comes from superstition, hearsay, or just plain guessing. If you choose the Quack variant, your proficiency in the Medicine skill is replaced with proficiency in the Deception skill, and you can choose any tool instead of a herbalism kit to be proficient with. Even though you lack medicinal ability, you can still work treating those who cannot see through your deception. If you are found to be a fraud, you may be in danger of retaliation from your patients!
