Since docs can buff, ressurect, cure disease,poison,wounds, master a combat profession and still have enough points left over, to survey and why should the combat medics be slighted.
If the CM profession could remove ranged support ability, I think this would enhance the profession in a great way.

many have asked this question in the past, and i am sure many will ask in the future, but the answer remains the same:
Ranged Healing, Ranged Poisons, Ranged Diseases = Ranged Support
Combat Medic = Combat XP
believe me, i want NOTHING MORE from this game than to have a Master Teras Kasi Artist / Master Combat Medic BUT i have come to grips with the fact that the one thingi want even more than a FS character is NEVER GONING TO HAPPEN... EVER.

I think the requirement is fine. We ARE ranged support after all...
Commando's having to have unarmed.... Thats stupid.

I would like the extra points from it, but I think it wouldn't make sense to take it out. "Ranged" is part of what makes CMs unique. I wouldn't mind seeing some other improvements to class to make it more worth the points we use to master it however.

For the record, most master docs with a mastered elite combat profession have spent their remaining points in novice scout and exploration 1 because not having it is extremely painful. That doesn't leave any points for sampling or anything else. Combat medics get terrain negotiation equal to that of a master scout in the package.

hi i am a master doc/master carbineer ant this combo takes all but 4 skill points so no the doc cannot master doc and a combat professions and still have enough skill points to survay. the only real difference is that becsue of the ranged support requirment u can;t go MCM and TKM but carbineer, rifle man and pistolier are not bad professions. and u can master both.

You must have an extra line in marksman. With just master doc and master carbineer, you should have 18 SP left (enough for another starting profession and 1 box). Do you have the ranged support line?

He's got something else, cuz you're right. He should still have 18 sp left, as I was a master doc master swordsman with novice scout and a point into terrain negoatiation
