Key Stats
- Ability Scores: Intelligence. Dexterity if you want to not control them via direct neural interface.
- Note: It is possible to get a Magic-based direct neural interface via a few Electromagnetism-linked abilities. Obviously Wisdom becomes important at that point, but the only relevant thing that it affects here is Initiative (which becomes WIS-based when controlling things via DNI instead).
- Skills: Hackcraft, Knowledge [Technology], Mechanics, and Use Computer. Endurance, Initiative, and Perception are always good.
Key Mechanics
Backgrounds
In theory any work, but if you're looking for ones that specifically boost your key skills or stats...
- Artisan
- College Educated
- Criminal Past
- Help Desk
- Lore-Keeper
- Magical Family
- One of the Masses
- Upper Class Upbringing
Themes
Themes that boost the medic role...
- Cybernetic Seeker: Relevant bonuses, but really not the focus of the theme.
- Renaissance Sentient: Literally good for anything.
- Scholar: If you want to go the knowledge angle more.
Base Specializations
Advanced Specializations
Feats
- Brilliant Defense - 1/Encounter add your INT mod to your Reflex defense as a reaction. Yes, this does work with Predictive Defense (see below).
- Predictive Defense - You're smart enough to not get hit. Use Intelligence instead of Dexterity when determining your Reflex defense.
- Skill Focus - +5 to a skill. Always useful.
- The Pen Is Mightier - Look at some point you're going to have to persuade someone. Might as well do it in writing and add your Intelligence and Wisdom.
