Ruby Bliel does. it's a drink that gives you an instant stimpack use, or something like that. with my CM skills and all, i never bothered with that stuff. i only use a stimpack if i'm in serious trouble. i usually just rely on bacta shot or bacta toss.
Speaking of template changes...
I'm about to take the big plunge 
Now, mind you, I've had Guildenstern since shortly after the servers opened. He's *always* had medic. Always, always. At one point he was darn near master medic, just from making/using stims. Of course stims have changed a huge amount, since the beginning. Anyway, one thing lead to another, and eventually,myhusband and Ileft SWG, took it back up, dropped it again, and - now, finally, seem stuck on it again lol
So, I completely missed the growing pains of the CU, thank god - but I came back to a master scout/marksman, novice pistoleer/rifle,2/3 doneRanger (with some medic! lol yes he was rather a mess and had no free skill points.) Now that I've buckled down and decided on Rifle (that's why he was master marksman etc - I just could decide!) I'm approaching that point of no return heh. That is, if I want Ranger too, I gotta finally drop Medic. I just have to get the Master box now. Although I expect 1 mil rifle xp, solo, to take a while.
I'm just trying to decide, with the rate I'm getting Ranger boxes, especially with their cost, if I should do a quick painful jerk or a long slow agonizing pull lol. I was going to wait and max my Ranger skill, and drop medic after I mastered Rifle.
I know it's pathetic really lol. I'm trying to fight without resorting to bacta shot and it's really tough >< It's like a safety net or a bad habit lol
Okies enough rambling ^_^ I just felt like stating all that. Ignore if you like lol

Ruby decreases your stim wait time by about half if you get stuff rated near 30.
Not sure if it's one use or not. I think it's supposed to last a while, so if it's one use that might be a bug.

Seeing as I can't drink it during combat, it isn't of much help to me usually.. Maybe I'm just full and don't notice though.
Aye you must be full because you can eat/drink during battle - at least I know I do, and have np unless I'm full, or under a similar buff. I will have to experiment with actually using the stuff I guess... I usually just make it.
Well I'm master rifleman/master ranger also... been debating changing templates.
I was thinking MBH, ranger 0040, rifles 4002, and novice medic
here's the problem.... do the math and the combat level would be like 70-72 range.
and I don't know how that will affect my BH marks... would they drop the good loot still etc?
The nice thing about this template... way better defences, plus the improved stances.... better accuracy, better speed than Mrifles, Mranger. plus bacta shot with 6 sec timer vs 60 sec timer for stims...
only down side... creature harvesting drops from 160 to 90....
Wish there was a way to test it w/out using my respec.
Any thoughts???
Mouse: Thanks for the biels info, I'll have to try that out.

You really think with 6k energy armor, PSG, a 600 dps rifle, and bacta shot/stims I couldnt take a bh boss mark?
