Optional Education
Pack: The Medical Sciences Education Pack is
available for the career skills of your medtech. This pack
is based on the assumption that the character has attended a
medical or nursing school, college, or university, majoring
in Medical Sciences. You cannot take a higher education pack
than your INT stat. The number of career skill points and
pickup skill points (yes, you must spend both since you are
assumed to have had little time for extracurricular skill
pickup) spent to acquire that level is indicated following
the degree. The level of each skill is indicated following
the skill.
Education Packs are an extremely generous way to pack
your character with skills, based on the assumption that
while in school you spent all your time learning and
therefore got, hello, an education. Remember that you
can't level higher than the stat associated with any skill
or higher in a career skill than your Special Ability
level.

Playing the MedTechie in
FFRP:
MedTechs are often as combat-hardened as the
solo, seeing death and danger every day. However, they
are often more aware of the humanity of people than the
average cyberpunk, and can be motivated by a genuine
concern for their patients. It is recommended that a
MedTech pick up skills in Cybertech
if they want to make money. I would recommend that
MedTechs also familiarize themselves with the Ware
Guide, including surgical codes. I'm working on
getting a MedTech Player Guide up that will include
specific information on drugs and medical proceedure in
2020.
