Spells Per Day:

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Healers are proficient with all simple weapons and with light armor. Additionally, a healer who uses metal armor or any kind of shield is severely hampered. The armor of a healer is restricted by traditional oaths, not simply training. A healer knows how to wear light metal armor and could become proficient with medium or heavy armor, but wearing metal armor or bearing a shield would violate her oath and suppress her healer powers. Her ethos requires a certain vulnerability that allows her to more fully empathize with those in their care. A healer who uses prohibited armor is unable to cast healer spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like class features while doing so and for 24 hours after the armor is taken off.

Spells: A healer casts divine spells (the same type of spells available to clerics), which are drawn from the healer spell list given below. A healer must choose and prepare her spells in advance (see below).

To prepare or cast a spell, a healer must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spell’s level (Wis 10 for 0-level spells, Wis 11 for 1st level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a healer’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the healer’s Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a healer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score.

Spontaneous Casting: A healer can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time. The healer 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).

Healing Hands: Whenever a healer casts a spell that cures hit point damage, she adds her Charisma modifier to the amount of damage healed. This bonus applies only to spells of the healing subschool that she casts as a healer, not to those that she may have by virtue of levels in another class.

This bonus improves to two times her Charisma modifier at level 10.

Skill Focus (Heal): A healer’s focused training grants her this bonus feat at 2nd level. If she already has that feat, she may choose a different one.

Healing Wave: A healer can release a wave of healing energy by channeling the power of her faith. Healing Wave causes a burst that affects any party members and good-aligned creatures in a 30 foot radius centered on the healer. The amount healed is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two healer levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, and so on). Creatures healed by healing wave cannot exceed their maximum hit point total--all excess healing is lost. A healer may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. This is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

This ability counts as Channel Energy (positive) for the purposes of qualifying for prestige classes or feats.

Healing Techniques: As a healer gains experience, she learns a number of techniques that increase her healing abilities. Starting at 2nd level, a healer gains one healing technique. She gains an additional technique for every 2 levels of healer attained after 2nd level. A healer cannot select an individual technique more than once.

Cleanse Blindness: The healer gains the ability to cleanse blindness a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting a remove blindness/deafness spell.

Cleanse Disease: The healer gains the ability to cleanse disease a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting a remove disease spell.

Cleanse Fear: The healer gains the ability to cleanse fear a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting a remove fear spell.

Cleanse Mind: The healer gains the ability to remove any charm effect a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier as a standard action.

Cleanse Paralysis: The healer gains the ability to cleanse paralysis a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting the remove paralysis spell.

Cleanse Poison: The healer gains the ability to cleanse poison a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting a neutralize poison spell.

Healer's Grace: When the healer casts any spell that cures hit point damage, she can choose to grant the subject a +1 sacred bonus for every 4 class levels to Saving Throws (minimum +1). This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the healer's Charisma modifier. This ability can be used 3 times per day + your Charisma modifier.

Healer's Protection: The healer gains the ability to protect her charges. When the healer casts any spell that cures hit point damage, she can choose to grant the subject a +1 sacred bonus for every 4 class levels to Armor Class (minimum +1). This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the healer's Charisma modifier. This ability can be used 3 times per day + your Charisma modifier.

Lingering Vitality: A healer with this ability is able to increase their healing effects over time. When the healer casts any spell that cures hit point damage, she can choose to grant the subject Fast Healing 1. This effect lasts 10 rounds plus 1 round per level, to a maximum of 15 rounds. This ability can be used 3 times a day + your Charisma modifier.

Practiced Healer: The healer is gains a +2 sacred bonus to caster level when using healing spells.

Rapid Healing: The healer gains the ability to reduce the casting time of her healing spells. The healer is able to cast any spell that cures hit point damage as a move action. This ability can be used 3 times a day + your Charisma modifier.

Touch of Healing: The healer gains the ability to channel divine healing with just a touch. As a standard action, the healer can heal 3 points of damage per caster level to a maximum of 30 points. You can use this ability only on a target that has been reduced to one-half or fewer of its total hit points. The effect ends once you've healed the subject up to half its normal maximum hit points. This ability has no effect on creatures that can't be healed by cure spells.

Effortless Healing: At 7th level, a healer has learned to cast spells of the healing subschool with minimal effort. She may cast such spells without provoking attacks of opportunity. This ability applies only to spells of the healing subschool that she casts as a healer, not to those that she may have by virtue of levels in another class.

Unicorn Companion: When a healer attains 8th level, the deities recognize her devotion and grant her a celestial unicorn companion as her mount and aide. The unicorn, a symbol of healing and purity, serves the healer willingly and unswervingly.

Once per day, as a full-round action, the healer may magically call her companion from the celestial realms in which it resides. The companion immediately appears adjacent to the healer and remains for 2 hours per healer level. It may be dismissed at any time as a free action. The companion is the same creature each time it is called, though the healer may release a particular companion from service to gain a companion of a different kind. Each time the companion is called, it appears in full health, regardless of any damage it may have taken previously. The companion also appears wearing or carrying any gear it had when it was last dismissed. Calling a companion is a conjuration (calling) effect.

Advanced Techniques: At 10th level, and every two levels thereafter, a healer can choose one of the following advanced techniques in place of a healing technique.

Aura of Protection: You can emit a 30-foot aura of protection for a number of rounds per day equal to your healer level. You and your allies within this aura gain a +1 deflection bonus to AC and resistance 5 against all elements (acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic). The deflection bonus increases by +1 for every five healer levels you possess beyond 10th. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

Cleanse Spirit: A healer gains the ability to restore a creature to health a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting a greater restoration spell.

Cleanse Petrification: A healer gains the ability to restore a petrified creature to health a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, as if casting a stone to flesh spell.

Empowered Healing: All of the healer's cure spells are treated as if they were empowered, increasing the amount of damage healed by half (+50%). This does not stack with the Empower Spell metamagic feat.

Expand Wave: Healing wave gains the range of a 60 foot radius.

Extra Wave: The healer gains additional uses of Healing Wave. She can now use Healing wave 6 times per day + her Charisma modifier.

Healer's Blessing: When the healer casts any spell that cures hit point damage, she can choose to grant the subject damage reduction of 1/- for every 4 levels of healer. This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to the healer's Charisma modifier. This ability can be used 3 times per day + your Charisma modifier.

Improved Touch of Healing: Functions as the healing technique Touch of Healing, except that the maximum amount of damage healed is 60 points.

Ranged Healing: The healer gains the ability to restore a creature to health from a distance. Any healing spell with the range of touch becomes a ranged touch spell with the range of close (25 feet + 5 ft per 2 caster levels).

Swift Healing: The healer gains the ability to reduce the casting time of her healing spells. The healer is able to cast any spell that cures hit point damage as a swift action. This ability can be used 3 times a day + your Charisma modifier.

New Limb: At 15th level, a healer gains the ability to regrow a creature’s lost or damaged body part once per day, as if casting a regenerate spell.

New Life: Once per week, a 20th-level healer can bring a dead creature back to life, as if casting a true resurrection spell.

Ex-Healers
A healer who grossly violates her ethos (such as by refusing to heal an ally or a good-aligned creature) loses all spells and class features (except for proficiency with simple weapons and light armor). She cannot thereafter gain levels as a healer until she atones (see the atonement spell).
