Investigator Special Skills
| Special Skill | Effect |
| Treat Wounds Initial Rating: 15% | If successful, this treatment stops all bleeding and returns 1d6+1 hit points to the recipient. If this ability is used in combination with the Healing proficiency (discussed in the section on proficiencies), Treat Wounds will confer 1d12+1 points of healing. However, this ability can be used only once per combat encounter per person. A fumbled roll (96 - 00) Inflicts 1d4 damage on the recipient. |
| Identify and Treat Poison Initial Rating: 10% | This treatment is a two-step procedure. First, the type of poison must be identified. If an identification roll is successful, then a roll must be made to determine the outcome of the treatment. If both rolls are successful, then the recipient takes only one-quarter normal damage. Poisons rated as "instant death" leave the recipient with one hit point. A fumbled roll (96 - 00) indicated that the wrong antidote was administered, causing additional 1d12 damage to the recipient. |
| Identify and Treat Disease Initial Rating: 5% | This procedure works in a similar manner as Identify and Treat poison. Two successful rolls are required to effect treatment -- one for identification of the disease, one for its treatment. Successfully treated diseases drop one level of severity and last only half normal duration. In addition, chronic diseases can be sent into remission with proper treatment. This ability has no effect on supernaturally caused diseases. A fumbled roll (96 - 00) indicates that the Barbarian effecting treatment has caught the disease he had hoped to cure. |
A Barbarian gets 20 discretionary points per level. It should be noted that a Barbarian must first study under a Shaman or other qualified healer (at then cost of 2,000 experience points) to unlock this skill set.
