Medical Researcher: what does it do?


Rules Discussion


Medical Researcher:
Kassi has taught you not only how to apply medicines with your medical skills but how to craft them as well. When you Craft healer's kits, vaccines, addiction suppressants, antidotes, antiplagues, elixirs of life, or other non-magical medical or healing items, you can use Medicine instead of Crafting.

I take it this means you also don't need the alchemical or magical crafting feats to create any of the above items. Have the recepies and you're good to go.


You won't need magical crafting anyway, since the feat explicitly calls out for "or other non-magical medical or healing items".

Apart from that, you simply take Medical researcher rather than Alchemical Crafting, and use medicine instead of crafting.

The cons is that you'll have access to a very limited part of what alchemy has to offer.

In addition to this, it's a rare feat ( from an AP I guess, since Kassi should be the name of an NPC who, at some point of the adventure, rewards the PC with specific skills/spells/feats access ), so it would be up to your DM giving or not the access to such feat.

You would probably still need Artisan's Tools, too, since you're just swapping Skills, but I suppose that can be determined by your GM as well.

It's from Lost Omens: Legends.


Lost omens: Legends indeed. The character travelled all the way to Azir to get access to speak to Kassi Aziril (Ok, travelling is easy at 14th level...). He is already a well known medic in Taldor. Paragon Battle medicine was the main reason.

Herbalist dedication replaces artisan tools with healing tools, for the same items, so there is already something somilar in the game.

Thanks for your answers.
