I like being able to heal without magic. Let’s help those alchemists who specialize in medicine!
Medical Savant Feat 1
Prerequisite(s) trained in medicine
You mastered rapid fire medicine. You can attempt a treat wounds action as two actions instead of 10 minute. The target cannot be treated again as normal. If you roll a critical failure on this check, you get a failure instead.
Thoughts?
How about some more Starfinder?
You are not subtle and after you speak, people continue to do exactly what you want them to do.
Prerequisites: Cha 17, Intimidate 10 rank, subtle threat.
Benefit: When you successfully use the Intimidate skill to bully a creature, after the duration of its helpful attitude ends, its attitude toward you becomes friendly rather than indifferent.
Thoughts?
This came up in my latest Starfinder game, and I think it might be fun to play.
You have a deeply held belief about something in the world, but the powers that be are holding you back somehow. So, you have joined or started a group of like minded people who are actively fighting the authority who is against you. The news labels you with horrible names, but you know one day your people or ideals with be lauded by all and children will say your name with pride.
Theme Knowledge (1st)
You’re reading of history and political thought has given you an edge over other when discussing governance or political philosophy. Reduce the DC of Culture checks to recall knowledge about governance, political ideology, and history by 5. Bluff is a class skill for you, though if it is a class skill from the class you take at 1st level, you instead gain a +1 bonus to your Bluff checks. In addition, you gain an ability adjustment of +1 to Charisma at character creation.
Use the Crowd (6th)
You know how to move among a crowd and get into and out of places you should not be. When you attempt a Stealth check to hide among a group of people, you can roll twice and take the higher result. Additionally, whenever you are trying to sway a group of people to your side via a Diplomacy or Bluff check, once per day you gain a +4 bonus to this check.
Civilian (12th)
You have mastered the art of looking harmless until it is time to strike. When you make an attack against someone who is aware of your presence but does not suspect you are a threat, instead of the normal -2 flat-footed penalty they take, they take a -5 penalty to AC instead and your critical range for any weapon you are wielding is tripled on this first attack. This only applies to the first attack against that target in a day.
Revolutionary (18th)
You are now fueled by the victories you achieve over those in wrongful power against you. Up to twice per day, when you successfully defeat someone who has authority over you that you do not agree with such as an oppressive military group, you recover 1 Resolve Point.
I love rogues, and I want them to be the skill masters they were made to be. How about this feat?
Skill Savant FEAT 8
ROGUE
You pick up and learn skills at an amazing pace. You gain training in two skills, increase your skill level up one level to master in two skills, or gain training in one skill and increase your skill level one level up to master in a second skill.
