Thinking about dropping Novice Medic to go for People tracking skill at the top of the Tracking column.


Is it worth it to go with my BH? Does People tracking work?

It works just fine IMO as long as you are in something like a 500m radius of the player. Giving up novice medic on the other hand . . . well I guess if your hunting jedi it would help greatly, but you could also just get a ranger partner to help you track players. I personally value novice medic too much to give it up and it's the only thing holding me back from reaching master ranger, along with a few levels in pistoleer or CH.
Maybe if your lucky tho someone will get a movement going to drop the novice medic requirement to use stim A's like they did to drop camp requirements to call pets and vehicles.

maybe if we're lucky master ranger will actually be able to create it's own form of stim that mimics stim A's and wound A's


something made out of foraged flora.


mastering ranger to get a basic stim healing capacity that only works in camps would be great ... it would help me keep my team alive free up 15 points so I could ditch novice medic and I could actually become a more capable fighter too.

No, its actually a stupid idea. You lose a combat modifier skill (healing) to get a skill only useful prior to combat.


You can hire a Ranger to track for you. But if you are solo, who is gonna heal you in a fight?


Rangers probably will not get any "healing powers", that infringes on the medics.


Or, I guess you can hire a Medic to wander around with you.


I have Novice Medic and Pharm 1 so I can use stim Bs. Wisest points spent indabbling I can think of.

If you want to heal wounds just sit in a camp for a bit, but yes, I feel that Stim A's should be usable by anyone - they're no good in a fight but will help reduce downtime between battles.
