User:Tavis McCricket/Healer, Variant (3.5e Class)

Healer
Healers are specialized divine casters, masters of curative magic, outpacing even clerics in this regard. This focus on healing comes with a trade-off, as a healer's spel list is sharply contrained, and it lacks destructive magic or violent spells. However, healers have some combat capability and are familiar with armor and basic weapons.

Making a Healer
A healer is east to spot. she moves about behind an adventuring company or combat unit, applying her divine skills to bring relief to the injured. After she passes the wounded press forward with renewed vigor, and the fallen may yet rise again.

Abilities: Wisdom dictactes the potency of a healer's spells, as well as spells per day, while Charisma governs the power of the healers cure spells. A high Constitution improves hit points allowig her to brave combat and letting her spend fewer healing spells on herself.

Races: Members of any race can become healers, but they are far more rare amongst that savage species.

Alignment: Any non-evil.

Starting Gold: <-starting gold; YdZ->&times;10 gp (<-average starting gold. This calculated by multiplying the number of die rolls by the die size plus one and mulitplying the result by 5 [Y × (Z + 1) × 5].-> gp).

Starting Age: "Complex"

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the healer.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Healers are proficient with all simple weapons, and all light, medium, and heavy armors, but not shields.

A healer casts spontaneously like a sorcerer.

To cast a spell, a healer must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spell level (Wis 10 for 0-level spells, Wis 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a healer's spell is 10 + the spells level + the healer's Wisdom modifier.

Like other spell casters, a healer can only cast a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score.

Healers do not aquire their spells from books or scrolls, nor do they prepare them through study. Instead, they meditate of pray for their spells, receiving them through their own strength of faith. Each healer must choost a time at whch she must spend 1 hour each day in quite contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells.

 (Ex): Whenever a healer casts a spell that cures hit point damage, she adds her twice Charisma modifier to the amount of damage healed. This bonus applies only to spells cast as a healer, not to those that she may have by virtue of levels in another class.

If she already has that feat, she may choose a different feat for which she also qualifies.

 (Su): At third level, a healer gains access to the Healing Pool. A healer’s Healing Pool has a number of daily usages in it equal to twice the number of Healing Secrets known by the healer. These usages can be spent to activate spell-like abilities that the Healer can use to treat her allies. These secrets are supernatural abilities, and activating them is a standard action unless otherwise noted.

 (Su): Usage of this healing secret duplicates the spell Remove Paralysis. Triggering this ability expends one usage from the healing pool.

 (Su): Usage of this healing secret duplicates the spell Remove Disease. Triggering this ability expends one usage from the healing pool.

 (Su): Usage of this healing secret duplicates the spell Remove Fear. Triggering this ability expends one usage from the healing pool.

 (Ex):At 7th level, a healer has learned to cast spells from the Conjuration (healing) subschool with minimal effort. She may cast such spells without provoking an attack of opportunity. This only aplies to spells she can cast by virtue of levels in healer.
