This is the skill of preparing medicines to treat illness. (To work with noxious drugs, use Poisons skill.) You must specialize:
Herbal: The ability to make and administer remedies prepared from plants. Make a Naturalist roll to locate herbs. Before TL5, this is the only specialty available. It replaces Physician and is frequently used in conjunction with Esoteric Medicine. At TL5+, this specialty remains available, but Pharmacy (Synthetic) is much more common. Prerequisite: Naturalist. Defaults: Biology-5, Herb Lore-5, or Naturalist-5.
Synthetic: The skill of preparing drugs under "laboratory" conditions. To prescribe drugs, use Physician skill. This specialty is only available at TL5+. Defaults: Chemistry-5 or Physician-5.
