An alchemist who studies anatomy and uses this knowledge to heal is a chirurgeon.
A chirurgeon has the following class features. Infused CurativeAt 2nd level, a chirurgeon’s extracts of cure spells automatically act
as infusions, and can be used by non-alchemists. When a chirurgeon
prepares his extracts, he may choose to render any or all of his infused
curatives inert and prepare other extracts to replace them (unlike
infusions, which continue to occupy the alchemist’s daily extract slots
until consumed or used). This ability replaces poison use. AnaestheticAt 5th level, a chirurgeon learns how to supplement uses of the Heal skill with pain-killing drugs. He gains Skill Focus (Heal) as a bonus feat. Any use of the Heal
skill that has a risk of harming the patient (such as extracting a
barb) only deals the minimum damage when performed by a chirurgeon. This ability replaces poison resistance +4.
Power Over DeathAt 10th level, a chirurgeon adds breath of life to his formula book as a 4th-level extract. His infused curative ability applies to this extract. This ability replaces poison immunity. Discoveries: The following discoveries complement the chirurgeon archetype: elixir of life, healing touch, infusion, and spontaneous healing. |
