Medic Builds Intermediate
The medic never lands a hit and still decides who lives. Respect the role.
Build a Field Medic with high medical skill, protect them in the back rank, and keep them stocked with supplies.
The Medic Role
A dedicated medic patches wounds during and after fights, dramatically improving how much punishment a squad can take before losing anyone.
Building One
Train Field Medic by treating the squad's wounds. A high-skill medic heals faster and more effectively — it is worth dedicating a character to it.
Keeping Them Safe
Medics are not front-line fighters. Keep them behind the line, give them enough armour and Toughness to survive a stray hit, and protect them in formation.
Supplies
Medics need bandages and, for Skeleton squadmates, Repair Kits. Keep them stocked — a medic out of supplies is just an unarmed character in the back.
