Clone Medic

Clone medics — 'trauma troopers' — carry a carbine and a full field-surgery kit, and they are the reason a clone squad can take a beating and keep coming. Trained on Kamino to stabilize a sucking chest wound under fire, run a bacta line in the mud, and walk a brother back from the edge, a good medic is worth more to a unit than any heavy gun: he is the thing that turns casualties back into soldiers.

Medics occupy a strange place in a clone unit. They are the men who know everyone's wounds, who hold the dying, who decide under fire who can be saved and who can't. That weight changes them — many of the most thoughtful, most reluctant-to-kill clones are medics, and more than a few of the brothers who later questioned their orders learned to question by watching too many of their patients die for ground that got abandoned a week later.

The medic is a force-multiplier — every round it keeps a wounded clone standing is a round of fire the party still has to weather. Keep it behind cover and within reach of the front line, healing and stimming where it does the most good, and only shooting when there's nothing better to do. Parties facing a clone squad learn fast to drop the medic first; parties fighting beside one learn fast to keep it alive. As an ally it is a second set of hands on a downed character when the party's own healing has run dry.
