Purpose

The rosaria is primarily a doctor, being the only role within the various factions that acts as a dedicated doctor and healer. Rosaria come in two primary forms, the first being the better known and more widely common rosaria rune lantern bearers. Rosaria corps on the surface often hail from the Sons of Baitaal and as such have a more religious and priest-like bent to them than others, though this is by no means mandatory. The second form is the vitalist, the psionic variant that is more widely known across the warren federation. Regardless of type, rosaria are often simply referred to as rosaria regardless of talents and all are well trained alchemist and surgeons in addition to their other abilities. Rosaria are the only ones capable of using advanced medicines and using the complex alchemy stations, additionally rosaria are given specialized surgical training, allowing them to repair bones and patch organs internally.

Rosaria who use rune lanterns are given a suite of spells that focus on area healing and utility. A traditional rosaria can heal everyone within range for a general amount of healing or a single individual for a slightly greater amount. Additionally, they also have spells with utility such as allowing another to overcome addiction or stabilizing a single person to prevent ramping injuries. While useful, rosaria have few specialized forms of healing and are limited by the delay between castings as well as how much resonance their lantern currently carries.

The vitalist rosaria is more focused on healing an individual, able to treat specific types of damage directly and healing for vast amounts, but only towards a single person. A vitalist must spend an essence point per type of damage healed with their various abilities, but heal a much larger amount than what a rune lantern can do. Vitalist suffer from the downside of needing to be hold the target they wish to heal, making it difficult to heal in the middle of an active fight. While a vitalist does not need to worry about delays between castings, essence points take longer to restore naturally and require cerebrix inhalers to restore essence, further limiting their abilities. Vitalist also come with some utility spells, able to fix specialty damage like organ and brain damage or cure wild magic instability.

Regardless of their chosen path as a magi, every rosaria is trained as an alchemist and a surgeon, allowing them to mix chemicals at their lab to provide additional item based healing through potions or injections. Once made, potions and needles do not require a rosaria to administer them, though needles require a bit of medical knowledge to use appropriately. Surgery is exclusive to rosaria, allowing them to use surgical kits to open up those with broken bones or damage organs for direct healing. A skilled rosaria can bring a surgical kit with them and with nothing but a table and a sterilized pair of gloves remove a bullet, fix a bone, or repair a damaged heart before the person being operating on even passes out.

Tips

• Only your surgical table contains a soporific plant that puts people to sleep, try not to perform surgery anywhere else, as whomever is cut up will be in great agony.
• Consider carefully what your specialty as a healer is and plan accordingly, having pills or syringes loaded with healing the damage you cannot with your spells is a good practice.
• Work with those not of your type, a rosaria and a vitalist working together allows them to triage effectively. Highly injured people on the verge of death should be given to the vitalist, large amounts of wounded should be tended to by the rune lantern bearer.

Unique Equipment

Alot, you have a wide variety of bottles, syringes, health scanners, medical kits, and many sundries that allow you to easily heal others.

Advanced Tips

• Regular bandages and potions can be given to even the dumbest people to allow for light or temporary healing. A bandage can stop bleeding and a potion can provide a slow but capable healing, further compounded with additional methods of healing, it can stack effectively!
• Medicines that heal the same damage type stack, adding three different types of brute healing means three different sources of direct healing. Mixing potions is not only recommend, but damn near required for the worst cases.
• Stabilize then heal, it does you know good to load a patient full of healing alchemical compounds if their vitals are dropping too fast for it to matter.
