Healing Theurge (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

The healing theurge focuses all his powers on the healing and restoration of others.

Class Abilities

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

Willing Healer

A healing theurge must choose the Healing domain and does not gain any domain powers from domains other than the Healing domain - he still gains domain spells from all domains. If the healing theurge worships a deity, that deity must be one that grants the Healing domain. A healing theurge must channel positive energy.

Channel Spells (Su)

A healing theurge must channel positive energy, and when he does, he cannot choose to target undead. This ability is otherwise identical to the healing theurge ability of the same name.

Combat Medic (Ex)

A healing theurge does not provoke attacks of opportunity when using the Heal skill to stabilize another creature or casting healing spells.

Spontaneous Healing

A healing theurge can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that he did not prepare ahead of time. The healing theurge can “lose” any prepared spell that is not an orison in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name). The healing theurge can choose whether to "lose" a cleric spell or a domain spell this way.

Channel Mercy (Su)

At 4th level, a healing theurge can channel positive energy to relieve one or more harmful conditions. When the healing theurge channels energy he can remove all the chosen conditions from all living creatures that he heals within her channel energy burst. The healing theurge chooses one of the following harmful conditions at 4rd level: fatigued, shaken, or sickened. At 8th level, he can choose another condition. It can be one of those he didn’t choose at 4th level, or one of the following conditions: dazed, diseased, or staggered. He gains another condition at 12th level, and can choose an above condition or one of the following conditions: cursed, exhausted, frightened, nauseated, or poisoned. Finally, at 16th level, he can choose a lower-level condition or one of the following conditions: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or stunned. Any effects that affect a paladin’s mercy also affect this ability.

True Healer (Su)

At 8th level, when a healing theurge channels holy energy, he can choose to apply the benefits of merciful healing or to reroll any 1s when determining how much damage he heals with the holy energy. He must choose which benefit to take before he rolls to see how much damage he heals.

Healing Champion (Su)

At 20th level, when a healing theurge channels holy energy, he can choose to apply the benefits of channel mercy or to heal the maximum possible amount.
