Word of Life (3.5e Prestige Class)

Word of Life
"What purpose is having tremendous amounts of power over the world if one does not use it to make the world a better place?"

The Word of Life specializes in the art of using word magic to cure and buff her allies.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Word of Life.

You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one wordcasting class before becoming an Word of Life, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining words per day, caster level, and words known.

 (Su): At level 1, the Word of Life gains the ability to spend two words to make a DC 25 Heal check. If she succeeds, all dying creatures within 500 feet are stabilized.

 (Su): At level 2, spells with Lyf in them cost the Word of Life one fewer word for every three instances of Lyf in them.

 (Su): At level 3, if a creature within 500 feet of the Word of Life would be reduced to -10 or lower health, roll a d%. If you roll less than the Word of Life's hit dice times five, that creature is reduced to -9 health and stabilized instead.

 (Su): At level 3, the Word of Life may choose to reduce the casting DC of any spell she casts by the number of instances of Lyf in it. If she does so, the spell cannot reduce the hit points of any target.
