Plague doctors came about during the Shuddering Pox, when the belief was rampant that disease was caused by miasmas, putrid air. Adorned with masks like birds’ heads filled with herbs and fragrances to protect from foul atmosphere, these people used any kind of medicine they could to heal the sick.

You are one such plague doctor. Experienced with using the latest medical technology, you combine your knowledge of anatomy and medicine to create beneficial or debilitating effects in others. Your theory of disease treatment could be bloodletting with leeches, homeopathic “like cures like” techniques, balancing the four humors, combating miasmas, or even germ theory.
