I was considering starting as a chef, but I'm worried about being useless in battle near the start. I'll probably still end up taking it anyways.
Cool! So make sure your Pokemon have Gluttony or something, and you'll always be able to help!
Oh, and VERY IMPORTANT: I modified death related rules. Injuries aren't their own thing, but instead, you can get story injuries through HP loss, to which Pokemon Centers don't have a once-per-day limit. Pokemon or Trainer, you begin to have a chance of dieing, if your HP falls under -50%. Between 0 and -49 is unconsciousness range, and after the -50%, you take one HP of damage for every standard action like normal. -100% is pretty much actual dead.
If anyone benefits from injuries in some way, it is now counted as -20% HP for that case only, and does not count for story injuries.
