Medicine Work is nearest thing that
goliath culture has to a religious tradition. It is a profession that focuses on the purification and healing of the mind, body, and spirit--particularly in relation to the prevention, isolation, and eradication of
taint. This tradition incorporates several "sciences," represented by archetypes of several different classes.
- Spiritual Sciences, Hierosphere domains or Way of the Astral Self
- Mortal Sciences, Necrosphere domains or Way of Mercy
- Martial Sciences, Psi Knights ("Psychic Warriors") or Soulknives
- Natural Sciences, Alchemists
Medicine Terminology
