Path of the Medical Shinobi FAQ
What is the Path of the Medical Shinobi?
The Path of the Medical Shinobi is a support and precision-melee Shinobi Path built around healing, condition removal and biological chakra control. It gains Medical Training, Chakra Scalpel, Cellular Restoration and Regenerative Seal, allowing the character to heal more efficiently, fight with Wisdom-powered unarmed strikes and remove dangerous conditions.
Core identity
Medical Shinobi apply the same precision to restoring allies and disabling enemies. The Path is not a passive healer: Chakra Scalpel gives it a direct melee pressure option while later features provide condition recovery and emergency healing.
Medical skill
Medical Training grants Medicine proficiency or doubles the proficiency bonus if you already have it.
First Aid specialization
The Path learns First Aid Technique if necessary and improves how often a creature can benefit from that technique. Healing from Shinobi techniques also grants temporary hit points equal to proficiency bonus.
Offensive option
Chakra Scalpel allows Wisdom-based unarmed strikes, force damage and once-per-turn additional force damage while briefly preventing the damaged creature from regaining hit points.
High-level rescue
Regenerative Seal can be prepared after a long rest and later triggered when its bearer falls to half hit points or lower, combining a substantial heal with removal of one listed harmful condition.
