Apothecary

Deathwatch Apothecaries take on a number of additional duties over those performed in their parent Chapter. For starters, they must master the genetic inheritance not only of their own gene-seed, but of a myriad of other Chapters too, so that they might monitor and maintain the Astartes organ implants of all their fellow Space Marines, each of which may be drawn from a different Chapter with a different genetic inheritance. In this matter, Deathwatch Apothecaries occupy a uniquely trusted position. Aside from monitoring the state of the Space Marines' implants and altered transhuman metabolisms, the Apothecaries must also be ever alert to the risk of alien contamination, as Deathwatch Kill-teams often come into contact with numerous xenos species and the bacterial life they contain. The greatest duty that a Deathwatch Apothecary must perform is to recover the gene-seed of a fallen Battle-Brother, so that it may be returned to his parent Chapter, and he may live on through the creation of future generations of Space Marines.

Emperor’s Grace - Starting at 5th level, the Apothecary can spend an action to help an ally in 5ft regain an ability that has already been used (that is recovered by resting). He can use this ability a number of times equal to his WIS modifier. It is recovered after a long rest.

Feel No Pain – Starting at 10th level, the Apothecary gains a 20ft protective aura around himself. Any ally (including himself) present in the aura that is hit by an attack has a 10% chance to shrug off the damage.

Combat Drugs – Starting at 3rd level, the Apothecary gains the use of various combat drugs to administer to his allies as he sees fit. He gains a number equal to his WIS modifier plus his proficiency bonus. The drugs last for a number of rounds equal to the Apothecary level plus his WIS modifier; while under their influence, you roll and extra d4 on all attack rolls and skill checks and saving throws.  

Fortify - From 6th level onward, whenever an ally is hit by a critical hit, you use a reaction to turn it into a normal hit instead. The ally also gains DR equal to your WIS modifier.  
In addition, his Combat Drugs now grant a d6 bonus instead of a d4.

Crippling Attack - From 9th level onward, whenever the Apothecary hits an enemy with an attack, it must succeed a CON saving throw DC equal to 10 plus WIS modifier plus Proficiency Bonus or suffer a d4 penalty on all attack rolls and skill checks and saving throws.
