Maybe make the ranged healing (that converts lethal to nonlethal damage) be 30 foot ranged attacks that damage undead?  (The ability could be upgraded to damage fiends, aberrations, etc.)  It'd be sort of similar to the "damage undead" turning variant, except that it targets individual undead, and has unlimited uses.  Such healing would not otherwise be very useful in combat, but would help ensure that people get knocked out instead of being killed.Would cabalists depend on a particular ability score for their abilities?  Warlocks can function fine with straight 10s, but I think that their save DCs are improved by Charisma.  Should Wisdom play the same role for cabalists?  I think it should.  Again, if you are making cultists the chaotic and/or evil divine warlock, then they could stay with Charisma as their principal stat.</blockquote>
