Combat Medic Archive

I have an idea to solve some of the problems of CM's and Docs. CM's lack some of the basic skills that one would expect from someone with those skills, namely the drag incapped command and wound healing. Doc has been gutted to the point that it is nearly useless. Some have suggested merging the two, but I suggest making a third hybrid profession. It would go something like this:

First order the skill trees as below:

1. Disease/poison ranged attacks

2. Disease/poison area attacks

3. Combat actions (paralyze, drag, etc)

4. Ranged Healing

5. Area Healing

6. Wound Healing

7. Poison/Disease/Fire cures

8. Buffs

If you take 1-4 you are a Combat Medic. If you take 3-6 you are a Combat Doctor. If you take 5-8 you are a Doctor.

Master any of the three and you get Rez and the ability to place a hospital. Master Combat Medic and you get ranged disease/poison with an area effect. Master Combat Doc and you get ranged heals with an area effect. Master Doc and you get something from their issues list, not sure what (maybe something new like placing a camplike field hospital?).

Also, give each prof a class specific weapon. Possibly Carbine for CM, Pistol for CD, Rifle for Doc?

Of course each line would take appropriate medic lines.

This would answer some CM concerns, allow for greater customization, and help the docs return to some form of usefullness.
