Rico, Wilderness Medic

Another character of my novel that gave me some problems was this one. In 2E, he was a fighter (later, a Mountain Man demi-ranger) who lived in the woods, didn’t cast spells, and was good with herbal medicines. I didn’t find a satisfying build for him in Pathfinder until the Wilderness Medic Archetype come out. Now this is his definitive form in the standard Pathfinder rules. He uses the Reluctant Hero mythic path from Legendary Games.
