Medic Archive

I'm currently a 0/0/0/3 medic. I was wondering, if I bought a bunch of Stim D's off someone, would my character be able to use them. basically, can anyone use any medicine, but only certin people can make them?

If anyone can use any grade of stim, why not just buy a bunch of stim e's and call it a night?

There are 2 requirements for medical items in the game, basically.

The first is to have the ability to use the item int he first place. In the case of stims this means the ability to use the /healdamage command which is attained with Novice Medic.

The second is the Med Use requirements. So based on your Pharmocology skill level (which modifies your Med Use rating) and possibly even the related branch in Doctor (your Max Med Use at Master Medic is only +50) this is what will determine your ability to use the higher level packs. So you cannot use a Stim E unless some Doctor could experiment it's Med Use rating down to whatever your Med Use rating is. At Novice Medic, for example, this would simply be impossible as I don't thinkit is even possibleexperiment an E down to only Med Use 5. I'm not even sure a C could be experimented down that low. Not to mention any experimentation used on loweringthe Med Use rating is experimentation that is not used to improve the charges or power of that pack.

So it's all a nice balancing act.
