Physician
Physicians are practitioners of the healing arts who study the mysteries of
illness and anatomy. The science of medicine is relatively new and still distrusted
by the majority of Old World citizens. However, skilled physicians are often
well-respected members of their communities. They are capable of dealing with
most minor ailments and a number of more straightforward injuries, such as
major cuts or crush wounds.
