[QUOTE="Apok, post: 511846, member: 1969"] Yes, I have read the written description of the Hospitlar and I have to say that their interpretation of the PrC is flawed. According to the authors, they protect the faithfull, guard temples, and keep holy relics safe... Isn't that what the Templar is supposed to do? So, it appears we have two PrC's that have basically the same function. That's why I've changed the overall function to Field Medic rather than "Generic Holy Protector Dude." I think their abilities are fine as is, though the mounted prerequesite feats don't make much sense. True, they don't have any unique abilities regarding healing but they do get Lay on Hands and Remove Disease. If you are taking this PrC as a Cleric, then it doesn't reduce your overall spellcaster level and thusly your Curative spells effectiveness doesn't degrade. The fighter BAB does make sense since, in any battle situation, you must keep yourself alive to help the wounded or at times fight off groups of enemies trying to keep you from fallen comerades. So, taken like this, the Hospitlar has a niche and the build makes sense. Just remember the Code. [/QUOTE]
