PATCHES—MEDIC Melee Difficulty: Easy

Patches is first and foremost a combat medic, always trying to heal himself so that he can heal his fellow Gearlocs.
Using a variety of methods, Patches is a master manipulator of health and, with the right skills, can easily sustain a
party through the worst and longest of battles. He also isn’t half bad with a bone saw! Stat-wise, consider improving his
Dexterity and adding another Attack die early on. Enable his Med Kit right from the get-go. Then, work on Nutrients
for more sustainability or Toxins to help his party deal some Damage and to mitigate enemy units with Thick Skin.
Against hard hitting Baddies, Patches’ Stim line is best, though it comes with risks; his line of Medic Skills is safer. Try
to get his Bone Saw to act as a sword, and don’t bother with Zappack unless you’re fortunate enough to gather some E-
Cells. Getting Patches to earn his Innate+1 skill will go a long way toward keeping himself and his allies fully
conscious.

revived immediately.
