Apothecary

You have studied the myriad illnesses and ailments of the mortal body as well as the treatments for each. You know which herbs can soothe a fever and which oils can help prevent the pox. Not all medicine is good for the body, though: you have also learned which toxins can stop the heart or drive a man to madness. You know how to manufacture and refine all of these things, and you make a living dispensing tonics and tinctures to those in need. In a pinch you can even perform minor medical procedures, although these things are better left to a proper surgeon.

Suggested Characteristics

Personality Traits

• I keep all of my possessions meticulously clean, and I hate any kind of filth
• I am honest to a fault; knowing all of the information is the only way to make an accurate diagnosis
• I present everything I say as a guess or estimate so that I don’t look bad if it turns out to be wrong
• I set very high standards for myself, and expect others to follow my example

Flaws

• I use unproven treatments on my patients without their knowledge
• If a disease is particularly deadly, I refuse to treat it out of fear for my own health
• Memories of a horrible plague that I failed to cure still haunt me to this day
• I am only interested in the ailments my patients suffer from, not the people themselves

You can usually gain an audience with anyone who needs treatment — even if protocol would normally prevent you from doing so — simply by agreeing to offer your assistance.
