===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Mender====

'''Religion:''' Some menders tend towards gods of healing, but this is by no means a requirement.

'''Other Classes:''' Menders can get along with just about any class, but most menders tend not to work well with necromancers.

'''Combat:''' In combat, the role of a mender is to keep the rest of the party active and fighting. When fighting undead, the mender can act as the primary attacker due to the effects of positive energy on undead. In a pinch, their large stores of hit points also allow them to make somewhat effective tanks, but their poor combat skill means this is unadvised.

'''Advancement:''' There aren't really any classes that mix well with the mender. A small dip into mender can help other classes, but the inverse isn't true.

====Menders in the World====

Menders heal. They make very effective doctors. Due to their combined focus on Charisma and Wisdom, they also make effective leaders.

'''Daily Life:''' An average mender simply heads out to do their job, which is usually healing.

'''Organizations:''' There is no offical organization of menders, but there are small pockets of menders who gather together to better use their resources and to train new menders.

'''NPC Reactions:''' Most people treat a mender like they would any other healer in the world, or perhaps a bit worse due to the lack of a divine focus.

====Mender Lore====

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (the planes) can research menders to learn more about them.  When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

{| class="zebra d20"
|+ Knowledge (the planes)
! DC || class="left" | Result
|- 
| 5 || class="left" | Menders possess large amounts of positive energy from their birth. With this energy, they can heal others.
|- 
| 10 || class="left" | All of that extra energy grants them the ability to mend wounds and remedy almost all other conditions, including death.
|- 
| 15 || class="left" | Despite the healing focus, menders can be of any alignment. Positive energy doesn't have to be good.
|- 
| 20 || class="left" | Even killing a skilled mender can't keep them down. The greatest of menders can act after they die, healing from the grave or even raising themselves.
|}

====Menders in the Game====

The mender class fits the healer role. Plain and simple. They can also act as the party face.

'''Adaptation:''' Their energy doesn't have to come from the Positive Energy plane. Any plane with the positive-dominant trait will do.
