Subskills

Apothecary

Ointments, medicines and unguents are all different ways of solving what ails the common man who can’t afford to down a healing potion whenever they get a headache. Being trained in the skill allows you to separate real cures from snake oil.

Forensics

Looking at a battlefield and being able to determine which side won, where the victors went and who might have survived takes as sharp a wit as being able to look at a corpse and determine the cause of death. Such a skill can help keep the same fate from befalling the players.

Massage Therapy

Physical therapy is not only a useful skill medicinally, but many a powerful ruler has had their ear swayed when they were in good moods during a skilled massage.

Veterinary

While many medicines apply in a general way between humans and horses, understanding the specific differences between the two can help you apply medicine to animals.
