Medicine is an understanding of anatomy and physiology alongside the ability to assess and treat injuries and illnesses, potentially to lessen the severity or save a life. This Skill also proves beneficial for identifying causes of death, which comes in handy when players want a sense of what dangers lie ahead and if said death was natural or unnatural. Being proficient in Medicine is helpful for an adventurer, as injuries and illnesses are commonplace.
Medicine seems a must-have, but the existence of restorative magic and potions overshadow much of what it can achieve. The biggest allure of this Skill is the ability to assess and diagnose one’s condition, but players will find that the opportunity to do so is scarce, and often they cannot do much beyond a prognosis.
