The only part of the Medicine skill that even mentions any gear is the part that says 'The DCs of most Medicine tasks are based on the type of equipment used.' Nothing in the skill description mandates any particular gear for any particular operation. "The DCs of most Medicine tasks are based on the type of equipment used (see Chapter 7 for that information)." "Medical gear allows you to attempt Medicine checks and determines the DC of Medicine checks to treat deadly wounds." - p.220 (Chapter 7)So we need gear, and it sets the DC. YogoZuno wrote:
No, it does not. It says "You can you can use the Medicine skill in conjunction with a medpatch or sprayflesh to treat deadly wounds as a full action." "In conjunction with," not "with only." You are using the Medicine skill as well as the medpatch/sprayflesh. Nothing says you no longer need appropriate gear as required by the Medicine skill. So the DC is still based on the Medical Gear you are using to treat deadly wounds with Medicine.
YogoZuno wrote: as the feat says, you are able to Treat Deadly Wounds with just the medpatch or synthflesh. It says nothing of the sort. "You can use the Medicine skill in conjunction with a medpatch or sprayflesh to treat deadly wounds as a full action." You are still using the Medicine skill. The DC for treating deadly wounds using the Medicine skill is based on the medkit you are using. "When used in this way, the medpatch or sprayflesh does not perform any of its normal functions." All the medpatch or sprayflesh does is allow you do it as a full action.
Also, Improved/Greater Feint is only a move action so if your standard is taken, you can still feint. If you have a standard action free then Clever Feint/Attack is much more effective. I'm not saying it's a good use of feats, but it does allow some versatility if you REALLY must feint once (or twice) each round. |
