D&D (2024) What prof to make Healer's Kits?

[Andras]

What skill or tool proficiency is needed to make Healer's Kits? I can't find any reference for them. Thanks.

I don't think there is a set ability, but it sounds like it should be Medicine.

I was thinking Nature. I was thinking they you have herbs and spices to gather, but it might / should be an INT check with medicine. You can just buy the dried up and powdered herbs you need from someone who Natured and gathered them to bring to market. There is also the other items in the kit like bandages and splints and such to make the Medicine check likely a better choice.

I would have a Nature check if the PC is trying to gather things in the wild.

Depends on the nature of the kit. If you’re using nonmagical components, use Medicine or perhaps Survival. If it is magical, then use Arcana.

It's 5E, take your pick:

Herbalism tools
Medicine
Nature
Arcane
Survival
or whatever seems good to you (or any combination of whatever).

According to the 2024 PHB (p. 221), a herbalism kit can be used to craft healer's kits. The Hermit background grants proficiency in the herbalism kit.

Thanks, I'm taking battlefield medic for my next character and was looking for how to make the kits.
