Tech-Marine Healer?

By DrewVolker, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

Hey, I guess this is considered a rules question.

I notice tech-marines get a cheap intelligence bonus, and well, there is a deed that grants medicae as a skill.

Using this, would it be possible to have the tech marine be the groups healer/first aid robot.

Unorthodox, but mechanically possible. With Autosanguine, you'd likely never need to have anyone sniffing about your Gene-Seed anyway, so...

Sure, why not. I'm sure someone has to handle amputation and other surgery to get the MotorHeads closer to the Omnisiah.

Yes that is usually a good idea, and apothecaries are usually the back up tech for thier int bonus and access to tech use.
