Healing Sacerdote (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Some sacerdotes focus on healing, channeling divine benevolence rather than divine wrath.

Class Information

This is a sacerdote archetype.

Alignment: The healing sacerdote must be non-evil.

Class Skills

The healing sacerdote's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Knowledge (History) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Skill Points per Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features

This archetype has all normal class features, except as noted.

Healing Domain

A sacerdote must chose the healing domain as one of his domains, and must gain access to this domain in the normal way; from a patron with the healing domain, from a philosophy, pantheon, dualistic faith, or monotheistic deity with the healing domain, or from a personal creed. The different choices here affects how many domains the healing sacerdote gets. This is a restriction on the domains ability.

Divine Weal (Su)

A sacerdote can release a wave of healing energy by channeling the power of his spells through his divine focus. Divine weal uses positive energy to heal damage to living creatures. It has no effect on non-living creatures, undead, or objects.

To use this ability, the sacerdote spends a standard action and sacrifices a sacerdote spell of level one or higher. Orisons cannot be channeled. This can be a cleric or domain spell and is expended as if it was cast, but has no effects besides powering the divine weal ability. The amount of damage healed is 1d6 points per level of spell. At level 4 and each every 4 levels thereafter add another d6 of healing, to a maximum of 5d6 additional healing at level 20.

Example: A 13 level healing sacerdote channels a 4th level spell. The damage is 4d6 for the spell level and 3d6 for the class level, for a total of 7d6 points of healing.

Divine weal can take two forms, a burst or a ray. A burst affects all creatures in a 30-foot radius centered on the sacerdote. As an alternative, the sacerdote can focus the energy into a ray with medium range (100 ft. + 10 ft./level). This only affects a single target, but each die automatically rolls the maximum result. Both versions only affect willing targets, and there is no saving throw or attack roll.

Example: The 13th level healing sacerdote from the example above can channel his 4th level spell as a burst healing each creature in the burst 7d6 hit points, or he man make it into a ray that heals one creature for the maximum result, 42 points.

It is possible to use wrath feats with divine weal, but not abilities that do damage or require negative energy.

A healing sacerdote must be able to present his divine focus to use this ability. This replaces spell channel and the additional spell channel dice gained at level 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.

Healing Mind

At 2nd level and above, when the healing sacerdote makes a caster level check to remove a harmful condition, as with break enchantment, dispel magic, remove curse and similar spells, he adds his Intelligence bonus (if positive) to his caster level check. The player (or GM for NPCs) is the final arbiter of which conditions are harmful; even tough a creature might not think it is being harmed by charm person, healing mind can still help remove a charm effect. This replaces calculated targeting.

Divine weal (Su)

At 2nd level, a healing sacerdote who uses divine weal also removes one or more harmful conditions. The healing sacerdote chooses one of the following harmful conditions at 2nd level: fatigued, shaken, or sickened. When the healing sacerdote uses divine weal he can remove the chosen condition from one living creature that he heals with divine weal.

At 6th level, he can choose another condition. It can be one of those he didn’t choose at 3rd level, or one of the following conditions: dazed, diseased, or staggered. He can remove up to two conditions affecting those he heals with divine weal. This can be two conditions from one target or one condition each from two targets.

He gains another condition at 10th level, and can choose an above condition or one of the following conditions: cursed, exhausted, frightened, nauseated, or poisoned. He can remove up to three conditions from any combination of targets.

At 14th level, he can choose a lower-level condition or one of the following conditions: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or stunned. He can remove up to four conditions.

At 18th level, he can choose a lower-level condition or one of the following conditions: confused, cowering, drugged, energy drained, mad, or petrified. He can remove up to five conditions.

This ability replaces the additional divine wrath dice at level 2, 6, 10, 14, and 18.

True Healer (Su)

At 5th level, when a healing sacerdote uses divine weal, she can choose to apply the benefits of divine weal or to reroll any 1s when determining how much damage she heals with divine weal. She must choose which benefit to take before she rolls to see how much damage she heals. This counts as the merciful healer cleric archetype's ability of the same name for prerequisites. It replaces the manifestation ability a sacerdote gains at level 5.

Manifestation

Gained at 9th level, this is the same as the sacerdote ability of the same name except that it affects divine weal rather than divine wrath. The healing sacerdote gets additional manifestations at level 13 and 17.

In addition to the stated number of spells per day for 1st- through 9th-level spells, a sacerdote gets an equal number of domain spells for each spell level, starting at 1st. The "x+x" in the entries on this table represents these extra spells. Bonus spells the sacerdote may receive for having a high Wisdom score apply to both regular spells and domain spells separately and is thus applied twice.
