+====== Doctor Class ======
+{{ rpd:images:doctor_hero.png|Doctor }}
+The Doctor is a playable hero class in Remixed Dungeon specializing in toxic effects, disease mechanics, and potion knowledge. The Doctor class focuses on utilizing various chemical and biological agents with enhanced potion effectiveness.
+==== Starting Equipment ====
+  * [[en:rpd:bone_saw_item|Bone Saw]] - Basic melee weapon (identified)
+  * No armor (the Doctor starts with `NoItem` armor to allow easier equipping of the [[en:rpd:plague_doctor_mask_item|Plague Doctor Mask]])
+  * [[en:rpd:plague_doctor_mask_item|Plague Doctor Mask]] - Starting accessory (artifact slot)
+  * 100 gold coins
+==== Known Items ====
+The Doctor starts with knowledge of the following items:
+  * [[en:rpd:potion_of_healing_item|Potion of Healing]]
+  * [[en:rpd:potion_of_toxic_gas_item|Potion of Toxic Gas]]
+  * [[en:rpd:potion_of_paralytic_gas_item|Potion of Paralytic Gas]]
+==== Specializations ====
+The Doctor class has unique mechanics that differentiate it from other classes:
+  * **Plague Doctor Affinity:** Uses the PlagueDoctor magic affinity for spell effectiveness
+  * **Toxic Knowledge:** Starts with knowledge of gas-based potions
+  * **Medical Expertise:** Enhanced effectiveness with healing and toxic potions
+  * **Disease Mechanics:** Ability to spread and utilize diseases through the Plague Doctor NPC quest
+  * **Bone Saw Synergy:** While wielding the [[en:rpd:bone_saw_item|Bone Saw]] in either hand, the Doctor suffers no attack skill penalty. When wielding any other weapon, `attackSkillBonus()` returns -5 (with a 5% chance to yell an accuracy warning per attack)
+==== Advantages ====
+  * **Potion Knowledge:** Starts knowing key potions for crowd control
+  * **Unique Accessory:** Receives Plague Doctor Mask accessory at start
+  * **Toxic Focus:** Specialized in poison and gas-based strategies

+  * **Specialized Playstyle:** Requires understanding of potion mechanics
+  * **No Starting Armor:** Starts with `NoItem` armor, leaving the body slot exposed
+==== Gameplay Style ====
+The Doctor plays differently from other classes by:
+  * Focusing on potion-based combat and crowd control
+  * Utilizing toxic gas and paralytic gas effects
+  * Employing disease-based strategies through the Plague Doctor questline
+  * Leveraging medical knowledge for survival
+==== Subclasses ====
+The Doctor class does not have predefined subclasses in the standard game. Subclass functionality may be added through mods.
+==== Strategy ====
+  * **Early Game:** Use gas potions for crowd control and area denial
+  * **Potion Focus:** Collect and identify potions early to leverage known items
+  * **Toxic Mastery:** Learn to use poison and gas effects effectively
+  * **Quest Completion:** Find and complete the Plague Doctor NPC quest
+  * **Weapon Upgrades:** Prioritize upgrading the Bone Saw or finding better weapons
