Medic

Life expectancy isn't what it once was. If hunger doesn't kill you, a creature or human might. Or one of the other serious dangers in the new world, like disease, parasites, infection. Toothache. There are no hospitals here, at least not any that haven't already been pillaged. Your best shot at survival is having someone with medical training on your side. That's what the medic is for. Keeping you alive. These people are skilled at handling a variety of problems, provided they have the right supplies, of course.
