Default Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Esoteric Medicine

I posted this in the other thread but...

IMO Esoteric Medicine _IS_ Physician at TL4 and below.

They only branch at TL5 and above.

Also, the Basic rules say this about Pharmacy:

Herbal: The ability to make and administer remedies prepared from plants. Make a Naturalist roll to locate herbs. Before TL5, this is the only specialty available. It replaces Physician (below) and is frequently used in conjunction with Esoteric Medicine

So Pharmacy (Herbal) replaces Physician at TL4 and lower.

I'd argue this allows an herbalist to care for patients, default First Aid skill and any other benefits that Physician might confer.

A TL4 and lower healer might not have Esoteric Medicine at all... just Pharmacy (Herbal) and Surgery (Trauma) + the Bonesetting technique.
