Medical Branches

Wondering what type of healer would fit your character? These branches are a good idea to start with to get a general idea of the skills that your character might have. Characters might only have a certain amount of knowledge in a particular branch, as healing is universal, and those in the medical field learn new skills all the time. This section is also for new members/current members to navigate and scout out other players to RP with and grow with in certain medical fields.

Clinical: This branch will follow multiple categories: a mid-wife, pediatrics healer, adult healer, or general clinician.

Example Members: Penelope, Emilia

Restoration: This branch will follow multiple categories, such as, druidic healing, spiritual healing, or even bardic healing.

Example Members: Kailani, Emilia, Joan

Rank Advancement

These ranks and RPs will be evaluated by the guild leader. In order to progress, the RPs have to have some sort of knowledge gain/experience within them. RPs submitted with "future plans" with guild members will not count, unless there is healing knowledge gained in the process. Meet and greets also will not count unless there is a healing task involved. Here are some example ideas that can help: research of a healing remedy, a healing adventure, practicing with another guild member, healing the wounded from a duel/battle, and more. If unsure, the leader is always open to questions for clarification! Do not be shy!

Novice Healer:

A novice healer is someone who has just begun their training in the healing arts. They are typically at the very beginning of their healing journey and are in the initial stages of learning and familiarizing themselves with the fundamental concepts, techniques, and principles of healing. Novice healers often receive guidance and instruction from more experienced healers or mentors.

Novice healers often observe and learn from others around them. They have basic knowledge of anatomy and the branches they are focusing on. These healers normally are supervised under other skilled healers around them. In order to progress to the next rank, 6 healing RPs with practice, discovery, or healing adventure must be submitted in total making 9 RPs for the member overall. They must have someone more experienced than them in RPs.

Apprenticeships provide opportunities for hands-on experience, skill development, and a deeper understanding of healing practices.

Normally these healers use practice, feedback, and observation to help refine their skills.

Journeyman Healer:

A Journeyman Healer is an intermediate level in the progression of a healer's skill and expertise. At this stage, the healer has gained significant experience and knowledge, and they have honed their abilities through practice and practical application.

These healers are often independent, but have much room to grow.
