Doctor

Special Skills

Troopers with this Special Skill have the medical know-how to stabilize their unconscious comrades while in the field, saving their lives and returning them to active duty.

DOCTOR

SHORT SKILL

Optional

REQUIREMENTS

Troopers using this Special Skill must be in Silhouette contact with their target.
The target must have the Vitality Attribute and be in Unconscious State.

EFFECTS

By passing a Normal WIP Roll, the target's Unconscious State is cancelled, by removing 1 single Wound from those it has received, unless a rule or Skill specified otherwise. If the WIP Roll fails, the target automatically enters the Dead State and is removed from the game table.
Troopers may be recovered from the Unconscious State as many times as necessary, as long as the Doctor passes the WIP Roll.

Update PDF 5.2, October 2025

A Trooper with the Doctor Special Skill can use it on themselves, to cancel any states that can be canceled by Doctor. However, this cannot be done if the Trooper is in a Null State.
This Skill may present the following variations in the Unit Profile:
- Doctor (2W): Allows the target to remove 2 Wounds when their Unconscious State is cancelled.
- Doctor (ReRoll WIP=X): Once per Order, any failed Roll with this Skill may be rerolled, but applying the WIP Attribute indicated between brackets. The player must accept the result of this last Roll. This reroll does not provide a new ARO to the enemy.

Even if the player failed the roll granted by Doctor (ReRoll WIP=X), they could still apply the Operational Use of the Command Tokens to repeat a Doctor’s WIP Roll.

However, the WIP Attribute value provided by the Doctor (ReRoll WIP=X) Skill does not apply when repeating this Roll.

The Unconscious State of the Trooper can be cancelled by using either the Doctor or Engineer Skill, or the MediKit or GizmoKit pieces of Equipment, regardless of whether they have the VITA or STR Attribute.
