Message: <blockquote data-quote="Capellan" data-source="post: 623320" data-attributes="member: 6294">Great flavour text.  Very nice.I think your pre-reqs remain a problem.  Anyone who multiclasses Cleric or Druid with any other class that has a strong FORT or WILL can qualify for this class after 3rd level).  Such a character would also have a decent chance of resisting a DC20 fear check (good WILL save, good wisdom, magical protection).I'd suggest considering Base FORT and Base WILL of 5+.  That still leaves you with this problem for Cleric/Druids, Druid/Monks and Cleric/Monks, but you can get around that by adding in a BAB requirement of 3+ (which would mean a multiclass character with two 3/4 BAB classes would need a minimum of 5 levels to qualify).I realise that means that any non-Druid or Cleric is going to need a few extra levels to qualify ... but even then it could be done in 8 levels (Fighter 4 / Wizard 4 for instance).  And, as a somewhat religion-based class, I don't see any real problem with an emphasis on Clerics and Druids getting the PrC.Their class skill list seems very small, especially considering they get 4 skill points.  I'd consider adding some or all of the following, as they seem quite appropriate:Alchemy (herb lore, poisons, antidotes)Animal Empathy (swamp creatures only?)Concentration (unlike Incognito, I think it should be there - and monks are an existing example of non-spellcasters with this as a class skill)Handle Animal (especially if they don't get Animal Empathy)Use Rope (it's a useful outdoors-y ability for them)Finally, I'd make the herbal abilities (poultice, brewing etc) run off Alchemy, rather than Heal, and require prior preparation of the herbs.  I'd also place either a GP or time cost on acquiring items.  Otherwise a high-level Black Healer can cure 1,080 hit points of damage in an eight hour period, for no cost or spell use.Edit:  Or use Profession (Herbalist) instead of Alchemy.  That'd make sense <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
