Long story short me and some friends recently started a campaign and didn't really think through our party balance. People were concerned about long and close range but not about healing.So I went and make a character I've been thinking about for a while, a good necromancer(explained lower). So what funny medics have you all made and how well have they worked out
*My story*
So after looking at some spells I with some spells but choose False life since it seemed like a funny concept.
Now the problem here was False life is temp hp lasting about an hour and I only have 3 casts a day. So after a couple hour long dungeon dive everyone was alive but all those who were injured had 2-4 our of their starting health. Now queue the boss fight....We start with all of our non-injured second line combatants running in to kill the 2 side bosses. Those bosses went down easily but not before nearly killing our wizard with 2 range attacks(now knocked out) and we haven't even touched the boss yet.So me being the last unharmed player run in and crit hit the boss for 24 damage(which is alot for level 1).Followed by "healing" the main fighter to clean up the fight, we somehow managed. With that our parties average health was reduced to may 2-4. But at least there were no serious worries during the fight.
****Cue Looting the room*****
So we loot the bodies and check the room and find a hidden passage-way leading underwater. So 4 our of our 6 party members jump into it and begin to drown thanks to botched swim checked every time. After 2 pass out 1 of them finally manages to get everyone out but now their in need of serious medical attention(which I'm bad at). So the person with randomly decent heal check rolls a 10,13 on both with no avail. Then I try with only the bases plus 2 but phrased it as "Horribly inaccurate CPR" so my DM gave me a minus -1 instead(worth the joke). Then proceed to roll 18 and nat. 20 to save the day.
*My Character*
Name:Johann Faust(based off the story and "historical" figure)
Class:Wizard
Story*needs more work*: Was resurrected/"saved" by nondescript necromancer as a child, for some reason I've yet to choose. He mistakes this as a blessing and now lives under the misconception that Necromancy is good and his goal is to become a Lich to help others.
Side notes: Playing him as an overly trusting and very medically inept doctor.
