Introduction
In BG 3 when helping a downed character it always restores them to 1 hp. This is a huge change from 5e rules where you Help action in such circumstances required to pass Medicine check and only gave one passed Death SV on success. Arguably, the change is justified, considering general accessibility of healing options such as throwing healing potions. But it takes the most common use of Medicine skill away, rendering it basically useless.
Description
This mods changes Help action, thus restoring the importance of Medicine skill. Now it's a spell container that consists of two options:
The amount of restored Health is increased to compensate for the necessity to pass a check. Medicine is once again a useful skill: characters proficient in it can heal without spending spell slots.
