The Basic Responsibilities
(brsp)
+ + + + + + +
Healing the Clan
(heal)
For information on healing sick and injured cats, see this thread.
One of the responsibilities that comes with being a medicine cat is healing the sick and injured cats of all of the Clans, primarily their own. They must know how to use what herbs when, or the consequences could range from mild discomfort to a fatality.
For a full list of herbs and their uses, press CTRL+F and type in (herb) or click this link for the Herb Index.
Interpreting Omens (omen)
If there is an impending disaster, the Clan may have dire need of a medicine cat who can receive and interpret signs from StarClan. It is for this reason that all medicine cats are assumed to have the deepest connection with their starry ancestors.
For more information on communicating with StarClan, please see this thread. Herb Harvesting
(hbhv)
To harvest an herb successfully, a number things must be taken into consideration: ❦ Is the said herb ready for harvesting?
❦ Is the cat harvesting said herb using their claws or their teeth?
❦ Is the season a dry season, when the herb's parts are more likely to be dry and susceptible to crumbling?
❦ Does the cat harvesting said herb have a high enough Harvest skill to do so without damaging it? Whichever way these questions are answered, a staff member will roll a single 10-sided die or a medicine cat apprentice, and a single 25-sided die for the average medicine cat.
A Warning (mcwr)
If a medicine cat falls in love and takes a mate and has kits, they will immediately be forced out of their role if any cat finds out in RP. The medicine cat then has three [ 3 ] real-life months to pass the skills onto a chosen replacement. ❦ If the medicine cat already has an apprentice, the apprentice gains their full title and position automatically.
