Overview

Medicine is one of the powersets. It is one of the sets of Power Pools available to all heroes and villains. These powers grant very limited healing abilities

"You become an adept field medic, and can assist your team with basic healing needs. These close range powers should be performed away from combat because they can be interrupted."

Power Tables

The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

Power Level Effect
Aid Other 4 Close, Ally Heal
Injection 4 Ranged, Ally +Status Protection, +Status Res(PvP) OR Foe -DMG(All), -Rech, -ToHit
Aid Self 14 Self Heal, +Res(Stun), +Rec(Synergy)
Field Medic 14 Self +Heal, -Res(Heal), Special
Resuscitate 14 Close, Ally Rez

Your skill as a Field Medic is unparalleled. In addition to permanently removing the interrupt time Aid Other and adding Endurance recovery to Aid Self, using this power will grant a powerful boost in the effectiveness of your healing powers and reduce your resistance to healing debuffs. This effect increases with level. You must be at least level 14 and have trained any two other Medicine powers before you can train as a Field Medic.

Medicine Injection.png Injection

You fire a small dart at a target. The dart is set up to release a beneficial serum or deleterious toxin, depending on whether it strikes friend or foe. If striking a friend, the ally is freed from any Immobilization, Sleep, Disorient, Hold, Fear or Confuse effects and is resistant to such effects for a brief time. If striking a foe, the enemy suffers reduced damage potential, attack speed and chance to hit. The serum's effects will improve with multiple applications from you, but the toxin's do not. The toxin's effect is also shorter in duration than the serum's effect. Both serum and toxin improve as you advance in level.
