The Medic
One of the earliest rules that any player learns is that
every party needs a healer. However, all too often that
role is filled by a simple wand of cure light wounds,
leaving players who enjoy the role of protecting their
allies and curing ailments to languish in competition
with a stick of wood.  But no longer!  The medic is my
first ever base class to be published and it serves the role
of both healer and martial combatant well.  Through a
combination of grit, knowledge and determination, the
medic class is ready to take on the role of party healer
and make sure that you and your fellow players are
able to get up and keep fighting for as long as there are
enemies to face and dungeons to raid.  Enjoy!
—Anthony S. Altovilla, Freelance Designer
Medic
"I swear to the gods if you don't stop running into pit traps,
then next time I'm... Probably still going to bandage you
up because clearly you would be long dead without me."
—Claire D'Aubergine, a medic
While everyone would love the opportunity to receive the
healing magics of the great churches, genius alchemists
or noble paladins, the service of such heroes is a rare
and valuable thing. Not everyone can afford the cost of
such potent magics. For the rest of the world, natural
healers great and small service those who are in need
of care. On the battlefield, where wounds, disease and
death run rampant, the ones who answer this call are
known as medics. These brave warriors possess a keen
wisdom and insight into the healing arts, which they use
to aid their brothers on the field of combat. Though a
medic’s hands can heal, they are no slouches in combat,
and their strength in arms can rival any warrior.
Adventures: Medics often begin their adventuring
careers alongside friends or companions whom they’ve
known for some time. The medic’s natural concern for
others leads them to follow those important to them, to
ensure their survival. Other medics may have begun
their careers in the military, and thus adventure as part
of special missions set out by their commanders. Still
others are simply mercenary, offering their services to
whomever provides the coin.
Characteristics: The nature of a medic’s job requires
a calm, forceful demeanor. Medics cannot be ones to shy
away from gore, filth, or horror of any kind and they do
not rattle easily. This calm and dedicated personality
often makes them a reliable companion.
Alignment: Any. Medics work to heal wounds and
sickness, but they are not always driven by a moral
2
compulsion to do good. Some are greedy and charge
high but fair prices for their services. Others revel in the
pain and suffering of battle and take their time exploring
the wounds they seek to heal with little thought for the
suffering of their patients.
Religion: Those medics who do believe in gods tend
to favor gods of knowledge, medicine or community.
Medics who began their careers as military personnel
may choose to worship gods of war or glory. Whether or
not a medic is particularly religious is a gamble though.
While many look upon the acts of gods and their chosen
faithful to draw strength, still others spit at the mention
of gods and blame them for the messes that medics feel
they must clean up.
Background: Many medics could have made fine
clergymen or intellectuals, but due to their station or
upbringing these options were not available to them.
More commonly though, the role of medic is one that is
thrust upon them. Someone needed to step up and do the
job, and they quickly find a talent for the dirty work of
treating wounds.
Races: Medics are common among many different
races and all walks of life. They are more common
among militaristic cultures, and cultures that are
antagonistic towards magic. Thus, races such as humans,
orcs, hobgoblins and maenads often produce medics.
Other Classes: The nature of a medic’s job makes
them fast friends and allies with many different classes.
Though they tend to be looked down upon by holier-
than-thou clerics and the occasional haughty wizard,
few are truly willing to turn down the aid of a medic
when in need.
Role: Medics perform damage control for their
parties. A medic’s job on the battlefield is often frantic
as they must quickly prioritize their allies needs in order
to best keep everyone alive. Some medics do this by
performing emergency healing on allies, while others
act to stop problems before they arise through proactive
engagement.
GAME RULE INFORMATION
Abilities: Wisdom is the primary ability score that
concerns medics as it determines the strength of their
maneuvers and many aspects of their healing ability.
Constitution and Dexterity are also important to medics
as they help keep the medic in the fight and thus help
them protect their allies.
Starting Age: Self-Taught.
Starting Wealth: 5d6 × 10 gp (average 140 gp.) In
addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth
10 gp or less.
Hit Die: d8.

with all simple and martial weapons, with light and one minute or until lost, and stack with temporary
medium armor, and with shields (except for tower hit points gained from other sources as normal (but
shields). not from additional uses of the medic’s maneuver
Maneuvers: A medic begins her career recovery). Alternately, the medic may take a moment
with knowledge of five martial maneuvers. The
disciplines available to her are Broken Blade, Iron
Tortoise, Golden Lion, Steel Serpent, and Tempest Gale.
Once she knows a maneuver, she must ready it before she
can use it (see maneuvers readied, below). A maneuver
usable by a medic is considered an extraordinary
ability unless otherwise noted in its description. Her
maneuvers are not affected by spell resistance, and she
do not provoke attacks of opportunity when she initiates
one. She learns additional maneuvers at higher levels,
as shown on Table 1-1: Medic. The medic must meet a
maneuver's prerequisite to learn it.
Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even numbered
initiator level thereafter (6th, 8th, 10th, and so on), the
medic can choose to learn a new maneuver in place
of one she already knows. In effect, she loses the old
maneuver in exchange for the new one. She can choose
a new maneuver of any level she likes, as long as she
observes the restriction on the highest-level maneuvers
she knows; the medic need not replace the old maneuver
with a maneuver of the same level. She can swap only
a single maneuver at any given level. A medic's
initiation modifier is Wisdom.
Maneuvers Readied: A medic can
ready three of her five maneuvers
known at 1st level, and as she advances
in level and learns more maneuvers,
she is able to ready more, but must
still choose which maneuvers to
ready. A medic must always ready
her maximum number of maneuvers
readied. She readies her maneuvers by
meditating or studying for ten minutes. The
medic does not need to sleep or rest for any long
period of time in order to ready her maneuvers; any
time she spends ten minutes studying or meditating, she
can change her readied maneuvers.
A medic begins an encounter with all her readied
maneuvers unexpended, regardless of how many times
she might have already used them since she chose them.
When she initiates a maneuver, she expends it for the
current encounter, so each of her readied maneuvers

to assess the situation and her allies and recover a single
maneuver as a standard action.
If a medic has no remaining uses of triage available
and recovers medic maneuvers as a full-round action,
she regains one use of triage.
Stances Known: A medic begins her career with
knowledge of one stance from any discipline open
to medics. At 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 15th, and 18th levels,
she can select an additional stance to learn. Unlike
maneuvers, stances are not expended and the medic
does not have to ready them. All the stances she knows
are available to her at all times, and she can change the
stance she is currently maintaining as a swift action.
A stance is an extraordinary ability unless otherwise
stated in the stance or discipline description.
Unlike with maneuvers, a medic cannot learn a new
stance at higher levels in place of one she already knows.
Medic’s Training (Ex): Early on in her career, a
medic quickly learns to assess the battlefield in order to
prioritize the needs of her allies against the dangers that
her enemies present. Once per round as a free action
(even if it is not her turn) the medic can assess the health
of her allies. The medic is able to determine their current
hit points, any conditions (including poisons or diseases)
affecting them, and the duration of these conditions. As
part of using this ability, the medic may also make a Heal
check to assess the current health and condition of her
opponents. She rolls her Heal check once and uses it for
each opponent, comparing it to a DC of 10 + the opponent
in question's CR. Failing this check against an opponent
prevents the medic from assessing that opponent's
health for one round.
Triage (Ex): A medic must be able to react immediately
to any danger that threatens her allies. At 1st level, a
medic gains the ability to perform a triage as a swift
action. When she does, she can move up to her speed, so
long as she ends her movement adjacent to an ally. That
ally is healed for a number of hit points equal to three
times the medic’s initiator level. This increases to four
times her initiator level at 7th level and five times her
initiator level at 14th level. In addition, she can apply the
effects of one of her medic's expertises (see page X) to the
ally, if applicable. The medic can also perform a triage
on herself; she does not move when she does so. A medic
can use this ability three times per encounter at 1st level,
plus one additional time per encounter at 4th level and
every three levels thereafter.

 Divergent Paths
Alternatively, the medic can take a full round action
to apply her triage to multiple allies at once. If she does
so, she can move up to twice her speed; this movement
ignores difficult terrain and does not provoke attacks
of opportunity. Any ally that the medic is adjacent to at
any point during this movement is healed for the medic’s
triage amount. In addition, the medic can apply the
normal number of medic’s expertises for a medic of her
level to each healed ally. Each ally can only benefit from
the full-round use of triage’s healing once per use of the
ability. Using triage in this way costs two uses of the ability.
Medic’s Expertise (Ex): As the medic gains experience,
she picks up various useful tricks to help her be more
effective at the job of saving her friends. At first level,
the medic learns two expertises, and she learns a new
expertise at second level and every even numbered level
thereafter. Medic’s expertise that apply to her use of her
triage ability are marked with an asterisk *. The medic
can choose from the following list of expertises:
Agile Runner:* The medic may automatically negate
one attack of opportunity made against her during her
movement as part of using her triage ability.
Bolstering Treatment:* The medic can perform an aid
another action on the target of her triage ability as part
of applying her triage.
Careful Healer:* As part of using triage as a full round
action, the medic may heal herself in addition to any
allies adjacent to her during her movement.
Combat Training: The medic gains a bonus combat feat
for which she qualifies. The medic must be at least 4th
level to select this ability. She may select this expertise
one additional time when she is at least 8th level, and a
third time once she is at least 16th level.
Developed Immunity: The medic becomes immune to
all poisons and nonmagical diseases. The medic must be
at least 8th level to select this ability.
Doctor’s Advice: Whenever the medic successfully
uses the aid another action, she adds +2 to the bonus
provided. The medic must be at least 4th level to select
this ability.
Emboldening Boost: When the medic initiates a boost,
one ally she can see within 30 feet gains temporary hit
points equal to her medic initiator level for one round.
First Responder:* The medic may instead move up
to twice her speed when using her triage ability. If the
medic is using her triage ability as a full round action,
she can instead move up to triple her speed. This does
not count towards the limit of expertises she can apply
to her triage ability.
Fortifying Touch:* The target of the medic’s triage
ability gains a bonus to its next saving throw this round
equal to the medic’s initiation modifier.
Invigorating Touch:* Instead of healing the normal
amount of hit points, the target of the medic’s triage
ability gains fast healing equal to the medic’s initiation
modifier for 1 minute.
Martial Healer:* When the medic successfully hits
with a strike, she may spend a triage as a swift action to
What is Triage?
Each medic treats wounds and fatigue differently,
depending on the resources available to them and the
injuries and diseases they encounter. Medics are nothing
if not resourceful and most will keep a pack of materials
including bandages, thread, sutures, herbs or minerals
that they’ve used or heard about using successfully
to treat wounds. Medics from more technologically
advanced societies might use healing gels, nanites, or
other esoteric technologies in place of bandages, while
more primitive societies could rely on spirit channeling
herbs and leeches to get the job done. Sometimes, a
medic’s job isn’t even really needed, and a swift word of
encouragement or a jibe is enough to motivate an ally
to get back into the fray. What exactly is needed to treat
each character is intended to be left up to the medic’s
player, and should be modified to fit at each table as
appropriate. However, for ease of gameplay, it is safe
to assume that medics can readily keep their supplies
(whatever they may be) on hand to treat their allies
wounds.
heal an ally within 30 feet. This use of triage only heals
1/2 the normal amount of damage.
Miracle Surgeon​: As part of administering long term
care, the medic can reattach severed limbs or organs to
a body. The target creature must be living, and the limb
cannot have been separated from the patient for more
than a number of hours equal to the medic's class level.
The overall process takes the full 8 hours of providing
long term care. A medic must be at least 10th level to
select this expertise.
Neutralize Poison:* The medic may neutralize one
poison affecting the target of her triage ability, as the
spell neutralize poison. The medic uses her initiator level
in place of the caster level for this effect. The medic must
be at least 8th level and possess the poison knowledge
expertise to select this ability.
Poison Knowledge:* The medic never risks poisoning
herself when applying or crafting poisons. In addition,
she may delay the effects of one poison affecting the
target of her triage ability for 1 hour as the spell delay
poison.
Recovering Touch:* The medic may remove one of the
following conditions from the target of her triage ability:
fatigued, sickened, staggered, or shaken.
Recovering Touch, Improved:* The medic may remove
up to two conditions with her recovering touch expertise.
In addition, she adds the following conditions to the list
of conditions her recovering touch can remove: blinded,
dazed, deafened, exhausted, frightened, nauseated,
paralyzed or stunned. The medic must have the
recovering touch expertise and be at least 6th level to
select this ability.
Regroup:* When the medic uses her triage ability on
herself, she can move up to her speed. This movement
5
 Divergent Paths
does not provoke attacks of opportunity. This does
not count towards the maximum number of medic’s
expertises that she can use with her triage ability. The
medic must be at least 10th level to select this ability.
Revitalizing Touch:* The target of the medic’s triage
ability heals an amount of ability score damage equal
to the medic’s initiation modifier instead of healing
hit point damage. This healing may be divided up as
the medic chooses between multiple ability scores as
necessary.
Treat Curse:* The medic may attempt to remove one
curse affecting the target of her triage ability as the spell
remove curse. The medic uses her initiator level in place
of the caster level for the caster level check of the spell.
The medic must be at least 6th level to select this ability.
Treat Disease:* The medic may remove one disease
affecting the target of her triage ability as the spell
remove disease. The medic uses her initiator level in
place of the caster level for the caster level check of the
spell. The medic must be at least 4th level to select this
ability.
Wrathful Healing:* When the medic uses her triage
ability to heal an ally, the medic deals additional damage
on the next strike she initiates within one round equal to
her medic initiation modifier.
Improved Treatment (Ex): Starting at 2nd level,
when the medic treats deadly wounds, the creature she
treats recovers hit points and ability score damage as
if it had rested for a full day and she no longer needs
a healer’s kit to perform these actions. At 6th level, the
medic can treat deadly wounds or provide long term
care to a number of creatures equal to her initiation
modifier at the same time. In addition, when the medic
treats a creature’s deadly wounds it recovers hit points
as if it had rested for a full day with long term care. At
11th level, when the medic treat deadly wounds, the
creature recovers hit point and ability damage as if it
had rested for 3 days.
Cura Te Ipsum (Ex): Starting at 3th level, the medic’s
martial training enhances her ability to defend herself
while she ensures the health and safety of her allies.
Whenever the medic initiates a strike maneuver she
gains a +1 insight bonus on Reflex and Will saves until
the start of her next turn. This bonus increases by +1 at
7th level and again at every four levels thereafter.
Improved Triage (Ex): At 5th level, the medic can
apply the effect of two medic’s expertises of her choice
to any use of her Triage ability. At 10th level, she may
apply the effect of a third medic’s expertise, and at 15th
level, a fourth.
Guardian of Life (Su): The medic’s dedication to the
health and wellbeing of her allies is translated into an
aggressive defense of their lives. Starting at 6th level,
once per day the medic can initiate a counter as a free
action (even if it is not her turn) in defense of her ally.
This counter can only be used to protect an ally within
30 feet of the medic. The ally is treated as if they had
initiated the counter in response to the attack, but uses
6
any relevant modifiers (initation modifier, base attack
bonus, skill bonus, and the like) from the medic instead
of the ally. She may only use this ability once per round.
The medic can use this ability one additional time per
day at 12th and 18th level.
Resuscitation (Ex): Starting at 9th level, the medic’s
ability to treat severe wounds allows her to bring allies
back from the very brink of death. The medic can use
her triage ability to heal allies that have died within 1
round. If the healed creature's hit point total is at a
negative amount less than its Constitution score, it comes
back to life and stabilizes at its new hit point total. If the
creature's hit point total is at a negative amount equal
to or greater than its Constitution score, the creature
remains dead. Creatures slain by death effects cannot be
saved by resuscitation.
Improved Resuscitation (Sp): At 14th level, the
medic’s ability to stave off the death of her allies
broaches on the supernatural. Once per week, she can
use raise dead as a spell-like ability, with a caster level
equal to her medic initiator level.
Greater Resuscitation (Sp): At 17th level, the medic’s
skill at treating wounds is so great she can perform truly
spectacular feats of medicine. Once per month, she can
use true resurrection as a spell-like ability, with a caster
level equal to her medic initiator level.
Master Medic (Ex): At 20th level, the medic is such an
expert of the healing arts that she can apply any number
of medic’s expertise that she knows to her triage ability.

aggressive attitude as a result. Gain +1/3 of a new
maneuver known from the Elemental Flux or Broken
Blade disciplines.
Archetypes
Archetypes and Class Options
Each alternate class feature presented in an archetype
either replaces or alters one or more specific class
features from the base class.
When an archetype includes multiple alternate class
features, a character must take all of them—often
blocking the character from ever gaining certain
standard class features, but replacing them with other
options. All class features of the base class that aren’t
mentioned among the alternate class features of an
archetype remain unchanged and are acquired normally
when a character reaches the appropriate level. If an
alternate class feature replaces a base class feature,
the archetype doesn’t count as having that base class
feature for the purpose of meeting any requirements or
prerequisites. On the other hand, if an alternate class
feature alters an existing class feature, it is considered to
be the core class feature for the purposes of meeting any
requirements or prerequisites, even if it was renamed.
A character can take more than one archetype, but
none of the alternate class features can replace or alter
the same class feature of the base class.
If a class feature has a series of improvements (such as
a fighter’s weapon training or a ranger’s favored enemy),
it can be replaced either entirely or partially. By default,
an alternate class feature replaces the entire original
class feature and all of its improvements. For example, if
a class feature states that it replaces trap sense without
mentioning a specific bonus, it replaces trap sense
entirely.
If an alternate class feature replaces one instance of
a class feature that’s part of a series, the next time the
character would gain an improvement to that ability,
the new improvement counts as the lower-level ability
that was replaced by the archetype, and all subsequent
improvements follow suit. For example, if the barbarian’s
3rd-level trap sense +1 were replaced, the barbarian
would gain trap sense +1 at 6th level, trap sense +2 at 9th
level, and so on.
If an archetype gains a class skill as a result of a new
martial discipline becoming available to them or as
part of an ability that grants a martial discipline, that
archetype is not considered to be incompatible with
other archetypes that alter or replace class skills. An
archetype that otherwise alters the base class’ skill list
follows the normal archetype compatibility rules.

Ambu-Lancer (Archetype)
"It doesn't matter if they know I'm coming. If they knows
I'm coming, they tend to get out of the way real quick."
—Lieutenant Nel Landry, an ambu-lancer
A medic must be able to rapidly traverse dangerous
terrain to reach those in need of their aid. Some medics
specially train mounts to aid them in their quests to
provide healing to those in need.
Class Skills: An ambu-lancer gains Ride as a class skill.
Maneuvers: An ambu-lancer loses access to the
Tempest Gale discipline and adds Piercing Thunder to
her list of available disciplines. She otherwise learns,
readies, and initiates maneuvers as a standard medic.
This ability alters maneuvers.
Mount (Ex): At 1st level, an ambu-lancer gains the
service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry her into battle.
This mount functions as a druid's animal companion,
using the ambu-lancer's level as her effective druid level.
The creature must be one that she is capable of riding and
is suitable as a mount. A Medium-sized ambu-lancer can
select a camel or a horse. A Small-sized ambu-lancer can
select a pony or wolf, but can also select a boar or a dog if
she is at least 4th level. At the GM’s option, other animals
may be suitable mounts for an ambu-lancer to select.
An ambu-lancer's bond with her mount is strong, with
the pair learning to anticipate each other's moods and
moves. An ambu-lancer does not take an armor check
penalty on Ride checks while riding her mount. The
mount is always considered combat trained and begins
play with Light Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat.
Should an ambu-lancer's mount die, she may find
another mount to serve her after 1 week of mourning.
This ability replaces one of the medic’s expertises gained
at 1st level.
Mounted Combat (Ex): At 1st level, an ambu-lancer
gains Mounted Combat as a bonus feat, even if she does
not meet the prerequisites. This ability replaces one of
the medic’s expertises gained at 1st level.
Mounted Maneuver Expertise (Ex): Starting at 1st
level, an ambu-lancer and her trusty steed are so in
tune with each other that they can work as one when
performing maneuvers. Whenever an ambu-lancer
is mounted and uses a maneuver with a movement
component (such as making a charge attack, or taking
an extra move action), the ambu-lancer can have her
mount take the appropriate movement in her place. If
the maneuver allows the ambu-lancer to make a charge
attack, both she and hers mount are considered to be
charging. This ability replaces the share spells ability
that normal animal companions gain.
Mobile Triage Unit (Ex): Whenever an ambu-lancer
uses her triage ability while mounted, she may have her
mount take the movement of the triage ability in her
place, riding on the mount to her destination as normal.
This ability alters triage.
Siren (Su): At 4th level, an ambu-lancer gains a
glowing magical siren that announces her presence
8
whenever she rides her mount. The siren emits an ear
piercing wail and sheds light like a torch while active,
though the ambu-lancer may choose to suppress this
effect for one round as a free action. While the siren is
active, the ambu-lancer takes a –30 penalty to her stealth
checks as the wailing siren gives away her position.
When she uses her triage ability with her siren active,
her mount gains the benefits of the Improved Overrun
feat and creatures she overruns must choose to avoid
the ambu-lancer and cannot make attacks of opportunity
against her for her movement, as creatures dive out of
the way to avoid an oncoming ambu-lancer. This ability
replaces the additional use of triage gained at 4th level.
Patient Retrieval (Ex): At 6th level, an ambu-lancer
gains the following medic’s expertise:
Patient Retrieval: When the medic uses her triage to
heal an ally while mounted, she may pull that ally up and
onto her mount. So long as her ally remains mounted
on the ambu-lancer’s mount, the ambu-lancer may use
her Mounted Combat feat to negate attacks against the
ally on her mount. The medic’s mount may only take
on one additional rider at a time, however the addition
of a second rider does not otherwise interfere with the
mount’s ability to move or be ridden, though excessive
weight may affect its base speed as normal for a medium
or heavy load.
This ability replaces the medic’s expertise gained at
6th level.
Angel of Mercy (Archetype)
"In the name of all that is holy, let evil be purified, wounds
be healed, and blood be quickened. By the grace of the
angels I heal thee!"
—Theodysus of Lassau, an angel of mercy
The angel of mercy strides across the battlefield,
dispensing both the healing light of the gods and their
swift and terrible vengeance.
Maneuvers: An angel of mercy loses access to the
Broken Blade discipline and adds Silver Crane to her list
of available disciplines. She otherwise learns, readies,
and initiates maneuvers as a standard medic. This ability
alters maneuvers.
Angelic Fortitude (Ex): Starting at 1st level, the angel
of mercy is blessed with some of the inherent fortitude of
the Angels from which she draws her power. She gains
resistance to acid 5 and cold 5. At 8th level she also gains
resistance to fire 5 and electricity 5. This ability replaces
one of her medic’s expertises gained at 1st level.
Aura of Protection (Su): Starting at 6th level, allies
within 20 feet of an angel of mercy gain the benefits of a
protection from evil spell (the caster level for this effect
is equal to the medic’s initiator level) for as long as they
remain within 20 feet of the angel of mercy. This ability
replaces the medic’s expertise gained at 6th level.
Bolstering Strikes (Su): At 10th level, whenever the
angel of mercy initiates a strike that heals damage, all
allies within 30 feet gain temporary hit points equal to

Witch Doctor (Archetype)
"The spirits whisper their secrets to me. They will protect
me, as I protect you."
—Choga Lioneater, a witch doctor
The witch doctor utilizes the tools of clerics and wizards
in their efforts to heal their allies. Instead of patching
them up with bandages and poultices, the witch doctor
calls on magical training to heal others.
Class Skills: A witch doctor gains Spellcraft and
Use Magic Device as class skills. She uses her Wisdom
modifier instead of her Intelligence modifier when
making Spellcraft checks, and instead of her Charisma
modifier when making Use Magic Device checks.
Magical Assistance (Ex): A 1st level witch doctor
begins play with a caster level 1 wand of cure light
wounds in addition to her normal equipment. The wand
is of an unusual design and only the witch doctor knows
how to use it properly. This starting wand can only
be sold for scrap (it’s worth 4d10 gp when sold). Up to
three times per encounter, the witch doctor may move
up to her speed as a swift action, ending her movement
adjacent to an ally. If she does so, she may use a spell
completion or spell trigger item (such as a wand, scroll,
or staff) of a spell with the healing descriptor or from
her list of witch doctor spells on the ally she ends her
movement adjacent to. The witch doctor may use this
ability on herself, if she does so she does not move, only
heals. She may use her magical assistance ability one
additional time per encounter at 4th level and every
three levels thereafter. This ability replaces triage.
Magical Understanding (Su): The witch doctor gains
Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if she
does not meet the prerequisites. At 5th level she gains
Craft Wand as a bonus feat, even if she does not meet
the prerequisites. In addition, the witch doctor can use
her initiator level in place of her caster level to meet the
prerequisites of item creation feats. This ability replaces
both of the medic’s expertises gained at 1st level.
Thaumaturgic Medicine (Su): Although the witch
doctor lacks any true innate magical talent, her
understanding of magical principles is such that she
is able to utilize a number of magical devices with
such skill that she may as well be casting spells herself.
The witch doctor is considered to have a spell list that
contains all spells with the healing descriptor, along
with the following additional spells for purposes of
determining whether or not she can cast a spell from any
spell trigger or spell completion item without having to
make a Use Magical Device check. This list also allows the
witch doctor to craft such items, should she possess the
appropriate feats. For all purposes related to caster level
for these spells, the witch doctor treats her caster level
as being equal to her initiator level and uses the lowest
level available of the spell for determining the minimum
level spell her items are crafted at, and she learns these
spells at the same time that she learns maneuvers of the
same level. The spells are as follows:
10
• 1st—Air bubble, detect undead, diagnose disease,
endure elements, moment of greatness, protection
from chaos/evil/good/law, remove fear, shield, shield
of faith.
• 2nd—Abeyance, aid, bear’s endurance, blood of the
martyr, bull’s strength, calm emotions, cat’s grace,
death knell, delay pain, eagle’s splendor, fox’s cunning,
ironskin, owl’s wisdom, path of glory, protection from
chaos (communal), protection from evil (communal),
protection from good (communal), protection from
law (communal), protection from outsiders, resist
energy, shield other, status.
• 3rd— Archon’s aura, dispel magic, protection from
energy, remove curse, resist energy (communal),
sacred bond, water breathing.
• 4th—Anti-incorporeal shell, death ward, healing
warmth, path of glory (greater), protection from
energy (communal), rest eternal, restoration.
• 5th—Cleanse, life bubble, spell resistance, undeath
ward.
• 6th—Antilife shell, bear’s endurance (mass), bull’s
strength (mass), cat’s grace (mass), fox’s cunning
(mass), eagle’s splendor (mass), owl’s wisdom (mass),
stone to flesh.
• 7th—Circle of clarity, spell turning.
• 8th—Mind blank, protection from spells.
• 9th—Freedom, mind blank (communal).
This ability replaces the medic’s expertise gained
at 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 20th levels,
as well as resuscitation, improved resuscitation, and
greater resuscitation.
Magical Device Expertise (Su): Starting at 6th level,
whenever the witch doctor casts a spell from her list of
Thaumaturgic Medicine spells through a wand, scroll or
other spell completion item, she treats the caster level of
the spell as being equal to her initiator level, regardless
of the spell’s actual caster level. In addition, spells she
casts through such items that heal hit point damage gain
the benefits of the Empower Spell metamagic feat, if
they are not already empowered. This does not increase
the level of the spell. This ability replaces the medic’s
expertise gained at 6th level.
Thaumaturgic Mastery (Su): At 20th level, any spell
the witch doctor casts as part of her magical assistance
ability gains the benefits of the Maximize Spell metamagic
feat. This does not increase the level of the spell. This
ability replaces master medic.

New Items
Included with the medic class are a number of items
that any healer would find useful, from simple charms
co ntaining traces of healing magic to incense that
fortifies the mind against harm, these items are certainly
worth a look for any aspiring healer. Power charms and
refinement charms are used with the charm bracelet and
necklace of many charms from Steelforge I.

This carefully grown and regulated incense shields the mind
from harm while it recovers from trauma. Once inhaled, the
inhaler ignores up to 2, 4 or 6 points of mental ability score
damage, drain, or penalties, depending on the amount of
incense burned. Once the incense is inhaled, it last for 24
hours before its effects wear off and a new dose must be
