Class Feature Friday: Forensic Medicine Methodology (Pathfinder Second Edition Investigator Methodology)

(photography by drop-the-dagger on DeviantArt)

It is gristly work, but there is much that a body can tell us about the events that lead to their death if we know what to look for. Such is the basis of forensic medicine, and therefore, the subject we are looking at today.

The exact shape and results of a wound can tell the investigator what sort of weapon was used to make it, as well as anything unusual about it, while the presence of carrion insects can tell a lot about the time of death, and small marks and wounds might tell more about the exact circumstances that led to the deceased entering their current state. Imagine how this is extrapolated in a fantasy universe where a victim might show signs of unusual necrosis from a necromantic wound, or how they might show signs of extreme fright from a phantasmal killer spell, and so on.

While other investigators may be called in to examine the evidence of any sort of crime, today’s subject is almost exclusively expected to be investigating scenes of murder and death. However, their keen eye for detail can be used elsewhere, and their medical knowledge can also benefit the living. Such is the nature of their chosen profession.

In any case, this methodology might not have any fancy tricks like their counterparts, but with a little creativity and love of investigation fiction, it can be a perfect way to add some fun flavor to investigating, giving clues to upcoming foes.

With their training, these investigators have a knack for gaining additional details from examining cadavers. What’s more, they’re trained in medical practices, and able to heal themselves and others much more regularly through completely mundane methods.

That may be fairly basic, but there is one feats out there specifically tied to this methodology: Scalpel’s Point, which lets them use their knowledge of anatomy to strike for their foe’s arteries to cause bleeding.

Of course, other feats might prove useful for them as well, such as Flexible Studies, Known Weaknesses, That’s Odd, Ongoing Investigation, Connect the Dots, Predictive Purchase, Thorough Research, Whodunnit?, Reason Rapidly, Strategic Bypass, Reconstruct the Scene, and Just the Facts, though obviously some may be more useful to you depending on your build.

While not as flashy as other methodologies, being able to gain information specifically from the dead can be quite useful. What’s more, it’s unobtrusive, letting you dictate most of the rest of the build based on your own preference as well!

It’s a long-running trope that coroners and others that examine the dead tend to be… eccentric, to say the least. Often talking to the deceased or behaving in strange but otherwise harmless ways. If that fits what you’re going for with your character, then go for it, but don’t feel forced into it. Also remember that often in real life, forensic science is not always the foolproof method they portray it as in certain shows.

Exceptionally old for even a ghoran, Tender has watched friends grow up and die, while their own cycle of rebirth only briefly has interruptions. This has given them a fascination with the state of a body after death, which they’ve channeled into their investigative pursuits to bring murderers to justice.

A common method of disposing of bodies in the Red City is to feed them to the khefaks, a species of mineral-eating arthropods. However, the half-eaten body discovered in the pits shows signs of radiation poisoning, suggesting they were still alive when the radioactive specimen consumed them. Now the investigation turns to identifying the body and the sadist that doomed them to such a fate.

A recent string of serial murders has the city in an uproar, the only connecting factor being the method. The victims literally have their hearts ripped out by violent force, as if by an impossibly strong hand. Some has suggested a warrior bolstered by some potion of strength, while others think it might be some powerful wizard’s construct. Finding the truth will mean combing each killing for evidence.

Hi, what are your thoughts on MD Forensic Medicine? (For someone who loves clinicals and interacting with patients)

Hey! I personally chose general medicine specifically because I wanted patient interaction as well as the ability to practice my clinical skills.

With respect to forensic medicine, I don't believe you will get many chances to do that unless you also open your own private practice general clinic. At my college/hospital, FM department has a lot of work to do on the legal side of matters (consulting for the police, acting as professional witnesses, etc), and often the only direct contact they get with patients is by doing autopsies for foul play cases and other criminal/police cases. Live patient contact is less only compared to other 'completely clinical' specialities. I do not know if this is the case everywhere but I suspect so.

However, if you like the legal aspect of medicine, are fine with doing autopsies and are okay with opening a private clinic where you can have patient contact, then FM is worth considering. However, if you absolutely can't see yourself doing autopsies or interacting with law enforcement, or if you absolutely need to have patient contact throughout your working day, then I would suggest against it.

If anyone else has any advice for anon please do chime in! Maybe those who have done forensic medicine (in or out of India), or anyone who knows someone who's done FM?

29th November 2022 // The Crown Princess and Prince Daniel visited the Forensic Medicine Agency to gain a deeper knowledge of the agency’s work. The agency is an expert authority within the Swedish judiciary and functions as the medical link in the judicial chain. The authority works, among other things, with criminal investigations and forensic psychiatric investigations on behalf of the police, prosecutors, courts and correctional services.

Best Resources to Study FMT Online

In Forensic Medicine and Toxicology course, a medico is well informed about their medico-legal responsibility during MBBS. As a result, forensic toxicology is concerned with the medical and legal repercussions of the hazardous effects of substances on people.

The course’s goal is to increase undergraduate students’ ability for observation and legally sound inference. Additionally, the students are taught how to handle and manage medical-legal or criminal cases in an integrated manner.

It offers information about the administration, pertinent medical laws, practices, and requirements.

Forensic Medicine and Toxicology for UnderGraduates must be given equal importance as its significance is well-established during medical practice.

I've been on a forensic pathology elective the past few weeks, and I'm coming to the strange realization that sometimes it's easier to meet the patient when they're already dead. Once they're dead, it's over. They can't get hurt again. I found it far more stressful to care for patients who had been shot and survived, where lots of things can still go off the rails for them, than to autopsy patients who had been shot and killed.

My wife. My love. Please take away my money….I keep buying books. I actually can’t stop

My sweet wife, my darling, what can I say? I unfortunately share the same impulse of conatantly and immediatly buying every book that I see and like! 😂 But since you asked for it...

Wifey Ash, your money has been withheld by me, in reason of you wasting it buying tons of books — you will have to go to the addictive book-buying rehabilitation, and until then, your money will stay safe in my hands! 📚💸
