The second part of game breaker read more like a response than example of the trope, so I removed it. However a lot of things Kilgore mentioned do fit in with other tropes, so I rewrote Game breaker to reflect the overkill response to Doc buffs, rewrote the part of the combat upgrade in broken base to better reflect the damage it did to non-combat roles. On the main page I expaned combat medic a little to mention Post-CU forced regular medics and doctors into this roll, and I add "The Medic" to the main page to cover the wounding element mentioned. Also added Post-NGE Ent buffs to Game Breaker and noted the ironry.

* GameBreaker: Doctor buffs before the combat upgrade. Not only did they triple your health and action for a few hours, they also boosted your secondary stats, allowing you to the wear the heaviest armor and spam specials almost without penalty. Future dungeons and enemies actually had to be massively increased in power to compensate.
** On the other hand this was very good for Doctor characters, who could craft buffs and then have people literally lining up at certain spaceports to have those buffs applied and would always pay nicely. Doctors could gain XP by being TheMedic instead of a CombatMedic, progressing towards mastery of their profession by buffing, crafting, healing permanent wounds, etc. After the CU nobody had permanent wounds to heal any longer (making the game somewhat less realistic), Doctors had to heal people ''in combat'' to gain any XP, and buffs were nerfed a ''lot'' in not only potency but duration as well. There were many reasons people didn't like the CU, and that's the reason why Doctors didn't.
