Apothecary

These specialized merchants create and sell cures of all kinds to those who can’t afford healers with magical abilities. To the lower classes an apothecary is the closest they come to being able to consult with a doctor.

Some apothecaries also offer poisons but this is always done “under the table” because an apothecary’s reputation is very important to his ability to do business. Most people are unwilling to buy cures from someone who sells sickness and death.

Apothecary is a respected profession and apothecaries are fixtures in many towns. They tend to take thier jobs very seriously and can make a good living doing it.
