D&D 5E To me, nature lore = survival skill

[abirdcall]

Medicine is first aid and should be used for closing wounds and attending to other injuries

what shouldnt exist is ubiquitous Heal spells - imc Heal restores HP but doesnt stop bleeding or infection (that requires actual medicine)

Agree that it is first aid but if there is a healing kit it isn't even used. Which they're probably not even going to have because they will have healing potions.

I almost always import the Pathfinder condition track if I am going to bother with disease at all.

I most use a version of th 4e version that is the ancestor of Pathfinder.

If you contract a disease, you roll a Con (Endurance) (or Wis (Medicine) if treated) at each stage of the disease. Fail by 5 or more, your disease goes up a stage. Succeed by 5 of more and the disease lessens a stage. If the disease reaches Stage 3, the disease cannot be cured without a ritual.

About this

I know you are a huge fan of symmetry in game design. While it can be aesthetically pleasing, sometimes things having to be symmetrical can lead to bad design decisions.

this reminds me of Ad&d's Class Levels using different xp tables
