Combat Medic (Pathfinder Prestige Class)

Combat Medic

Armed with advanced medical knowledge and deadly weaponry, the combat medic is both a capable physician and a fierce warrior. Combat medics can quickly heal their fallen comrades in the heat of battle, then rush in to the fray with their weapons drawn. Outside of battle, combat medics can easily treat disease, nurse their allies back to full health with haste, and have heads full of esoteric medical knowledge.
Since the path to become a combat medic is filled with intense study and learning, the class is easiest to attain for bards, wizards, and astute rogues. However, any class can become a combat medic given enough time and dedication to the practice of medicine.
Role: Combat medics are adept at both combat and skillful healing. Combat medics are often eager to apply their skills, whether it's for the sake of simple goodwill or profiteering. Because of their skill in combat, combat medics have no qualms with rushing into battle to aid their comrades-in-need.
Alignment: Combat medics can be of any alignment. However, most combat medics are either good or neutral, as the path of the combat medic naturally attracts those who are more inclined to help others.
Hit Die: d8.
