Class for a Magic Doctor


Advice


So i'll admit i haven't looked at new archetypes, very much of the occult classes or anything in a while.

point being i'm trying to make an Intelligence based Healer. He purposefully has low wisdom for character reason, he's incredibly smart but has horrible mental willpower and is addicted to blood drinking [Typical In character things].

So clerics, druids, ect don't work cause wisdom based.

long story short, what's the best way to do intelligence based healing characters.

Oh! I thought you meant Dr. Who. Lol


i always imagined more Doc House than Who


Chirurgeon / Wasteland Blighter Alchemist has that mad feel you may want with magical healing built in.

There's also a lot more supportive Witch Hexes now. Can always go Hedge Witch / Cartomancer for ranged touch healing with one of the Healing patrons.


Witch with the Hedge Witch archetype.
