MEDIC
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain profi-
ciency in the Medicine skill if you don’t already have it. Your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make
that uses this skill.
In addition, your familiarity with blood has become magi-
cal, giving you some degree of control over it. As a result, you
can use a bonus action to magically stabilize an unconscious
creature within 5 feet of you.
You can use this same magic when you apply traditional
healing techniques. When you expend one use of a healer’s
kit on a creature, that creature regains hit points equal 1d4 +
your proficiency bonus. The creature can’t regain hit points
from this feature again until it finishes a short or long rest.
TR ANSFUSION
Starting at 3rd level, when you deal Sneak Attack damage to
a creature that isn’t a construct or an undead, you gain tem-
porary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum
1). When you reach 13th level, you gain temporary hit points
equal to twice your Wisdom modifier instead. These tempo-
rary hit points last until the start of your next turn.
FIELD SURGEON
By 9th level, your medical expertise and blood magic allow
you to painlessly mend an ally’s wounds using surgical
techniques. Over the course of a short rest, you can cause one
creature other than yourself to regain a number of hit points
equal to your Sneak Attack dice. The creature can’t regain hit
points from this feature again until it finishes a long rest.

of clockwork and gears, you’ve come to an understanding
of how bodies are put together instead. Medical experts in
rough or war-torn cities and villages may follow this arche-
type, but so do rogues who take a particular interest in either
clerical or necromantic magic. A grim surgeon uses medi-
cal knowledge and strange blood magic to dismantle foes,
restore allies, and control bodies like puppets.
