Triage
While bound to Asklepios, you know whether each creature you see has all its hit points, more than half of its hit points, less than half of its hit points, or less than 10 hit points. You also know if a creature you see is cursed, poisoned, or diseased.
Bloodletting
For all the Physician’s insight, his methods can be quite brutal. Once on each of your turns when you deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage to a creature, you can add a d4 to the damage dice.
Physician’s Balm
While bound to Asklepios, you can use your action to touch a humanoid. The target regains hit points equal to your binder level plus your Charisma modifier. You can also end one disease afflicting the creature or end the blinded,
deafened, or poisoned condition affecting it. You can use this feature three times and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Trait: Serpent Staff
While bound to Asklepios, his serpent materializes and coils on your arm, or on a staff, tool, or weapon you are holding, and whispers medicinal wisdom in your ear. If you make a Wisdom (Medicine) check while bound to this
vestige, you can treat the result as a 10, or your binder level plus your Charisma modifier, whichever is higher.
The fathers of all medicine, Asklepios and his serpent grant their binders supernatural healing and unsurpassed medicinal knowledge.
Legend
All great physicians stand on the shoulders of their predecessors; so too was it with the first physician. While Asklepios was walking through the woods, he deeply punctured his leg on a splintered log. A wise serpent named Sissiro came to his aid and constricted his wound, teaching Asklepios the first of many secret principles of Medicine. By way of thanks, Asklepios took the serpent with him, coiled on his staff, and the two traveled together.
Together, Asklepios and the serpent founded the first temples of Medicine, where healers could learn the art of mending bodies, curing illness, and easing the mind. Asklepios even created a salve of medusa blood that could raise the dead from the underworld. The God of Death raged at this, for it was the first time that souls were wrenched from his grasp, and conspired with the God of Lightning to strike down Asklepios. The fearsome bolt of lightning struck Asklepios and the serpent alike, but fortunately, the medusa salve spilled onto the serpent, resurrecting it from death.
Though Asklepios laid dead, his temples would remain, and the symbol of his serpent-entwined staff would forever remain the emblem of Medicine. His vestige is this very image: the staff speaking with the voice of the Physician and the serpent chiming in with profound medicinal insight.
Ideal
While bound to this vestige, you gain the following ideal: “Do No Harm. I have taken the oath of a physician, swearing to do no harm to those in my care."
