06-27-06, 09:31 AM I tried to do a search, except the search function is missing. I've got a character concept of a sorcerer medic (the DM has decided that for some reason divine magic has not worked properly for 100 years now :rolleyes: ) and would like to know if there are any alchemical healing kits and medicines available, along with their craft dc's.

Bards have access to CLW and a few other cure spells. Bards, if they wanted, can take Brew Potion if they wanted.

How does that jive with what your DM is selling?

To answer the question - I have seen healing kits that give bonuses to heal checks, but I don't have any of my books on hand, sorry.

06-27-06, 10:09 AM I knew about the healing kits, and thanks for reminding me about bards (don't play bards, so didn't know about it), but what I am looking for are alchemy items to augment the healing kit.

Medicine: Medicine may come in many forms; an infusion of willow bark to ease cackle fever; a soothing salve to relieve the red aches. Each medicine is only effective against the single disease it was designed to treat. If you take medicine, you get a +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against the disease for 1 hour.

This is great, but what's the craft DC?

Thanks Runestar :)

Anyone else have anything?

06-27-06, 01:29 PM The craft DC for medicine is 20.

A little easier than making antitoxin, as a trade off for having to make the right one for each disease.
