	''The leech is a practitioner of the art of health care. They use their knives to cut away unsightly hair, blemishes, to drain pustules, amputate limbs, and otherwise bring forth health and beauty through selective destruction. They use leeches to remove harmful substances, curses, and even spell effects. They use medicines to counter disease and ailments. They use massage to promote well-being and bring forth inner energy. Naturally, all this requires a practical knowledge of anatomy, which can also make leeches dangerous in combat when they get a good opening to use their skills for destruction.

	By clever wording and verbal trickery, the leech can make almost any proposition seem reasonable. In this way, the leech can use ''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/suggestion suggestion]'' (~~as the spell~~) on anyone he has first enthralled for three rounds or more. The Will Saving throw DC is 10 + half the leech's class level + the leech's Charisma modifier. The leech can use this ability as often as he likes, but a target that passes the Saving throw is immune to further suggestion attempts for 24 hours.

	The leech archetype represents a non-supernatural healing tradition. Because supernatural healing is the norm in Pathfinder, and natural healing is also rather quick and simple, the efficiency of the leech's healing abilities have to be rather cinematic to be at all competitive. The leech also uses some methods that are not recommended medical practice today but a part of medieval medicine—like bleeding. Do not try this at home.
