[QUOTE="Mike Sullivan, post: 612536, member: 9824"] Please do comment away. I'm not very good on balance issues. While other people are doing that, seasong, who [i]do[/i] you visualize prestiging into this class? I think that incognito's point is well-founded. It doesn't seem natural for anyone to end up here. The thing is, the healers of D&D are clerics. This class is a super healer, and it's got [i]nothing[/i] else. I mean, its BAB is terrible, it has no spellcasting, and about the only thing it's got that's not purely healing or defense oriented is the water breathing, swimming, and free movement. As has been pointed out, clerics don't really need to go to a prestige class for better healing, and this class doesn't provide a whole lot of additional healing, even if you do buff it up some. Plus, I think that the flavour for the class discourages clerics from entering it, don't you? I mean, She seems an awful lot like a quasi-divine being, and clerics presumeably aren't into going into the service of additional divine beings. Fighter types obviously won't touch this class. An herbalism-oriented Rogue or something might. And then we're down to "very strange Bards," or experts. Maybe Adepts? [/QUOTE]
