Description:

This mod adds a brand new tertiary Amalgamation healing specialization. Think of it as a tertiary Corpsman, but with some grenadier and hacker DNA injected. (and with its own unique skills)

While fully capable of (and indeed quite good at) using medkits, the Tech Medic’s flexibility doesn’t end there. They can shoot a healing shot at any ally within 9 tiles, and, if rolled, get a free healing grenade that heals 5 tiles at once.

The healing shot deserves a bit more of an explanation: It follows weapon damage, so stronger weapons heal more. You start with one charge, but every carried medkit that was not granted by an ability gives you another shot. Finally, firing a Medishot does not use up the actual medkit, letting the Tech Medic squeeze out every last drop of healing.

For those wondering… Medishot does in fact work with sniper rifle specs! Just beware the action cost and close required range. Boltcasters, primary sawed-offs and weapons that don’t do direct damage, however, will not be able to use it — that would just be silly.

Zelfana’s Assorted Fixes and its config are recommended, but can be omitted if you do not mind Medishot not being able to see medkits in mod-added slots. (think the Pistol/Trinket slot, or the one from our Medical Specialist skill)

Balance should be pretty close to baseline, though there are some particularly spiky class combinations if you get lucky with the right ability rolls. (think: tons of medkits to pass around)

• h4ilst0rm and TePª for the original Amalgamation Classes mod.
• Ketaros, for the excellent sprite pack from which this spec grabs its icon.
• All the perk pack people. Wouldn’t be able to do this without them.
