For what it's worth I tested this behavior probably over four to five years ago with local friends and people on message boards so perhaps some behavior has changed since then. I was one of the first to start posting the findings here on their inclination pages, but without getting into it, life got in the way and I passed the reins. Much and more was discovered over time on the inclinations by the time I came back, but Medicant seemed to stay the same. Medicant is one of the easier inclinations to see changes, kind of like Guardian.

Please feel free to edit any new findings, I simply do not have the means to retest at this time. I don't have access to my high level Xbox 360 character anymore and its deep pockets full of rift crystals, having just restarted on the PC version a couple months ago so, I don't have easy access to the items. What we did was a few of us used elixirs to push the relevant inclinations to the part of the list we needed them, and a few of us reset the pawn's inclinations and then set them up to see differences. Resetting was perhaps drastic but we were kinda going for an "other things equal" with that group.

I had a wall of text written up on what I remembered of our findings, but I think I'd really like to retest if I ever get the chance though I'm not sure it'll be any time soon. I can post the wall though, if you like. Again for what it's worth, the general findings where that Medicant dramatically affected the Pawn's response to party health, and it is very noticible on Mage pawns since they have easier access to abilities, but items seemed to be affected too. In terms of buffs, you can see that Utilitarian has a much greater effect on it, but Medicant pawns buffed as health allowed. We pushed Utilitarian to the bottom and it'll still buff over damaging if Medicant is ahead of a battle inclination (as long as HP allows). I'd have to think that Bestiary Knowledge is playing a role there though, and back then it was still unclear exactly what that did for AI.
