Message: <blockquote data-quote="CRGreathouse" data-source="post: 39578" data-attributes="member: 474">OK, here's my suggested revision.  I tidied up the look, changed the requirements so more classes could get in (5 levels of cleric, or 7 levels of druid, or 7-8 levels of bard, or 14-15 levels of paladin or ranger!).  I redid the abilities so it didn't focus on undead turning ability.  I'd love to see a bard take this class... hard to qualify, but not impossible.  Plus, the bard would get the Healing domain and spontaneous casting...I also upped the hit die and spellcasting, since some abilities were axed.RequirementsAlignment: Any non-evilFeats: Metamagic Feat (any one), Skill Focus (Heal)Skills: Heal 8 ranks, Profession (herbalist) 8 ranksSpells: Can cast cure serious woundsSpecial: Cannot spontaneously cast inflict spellsHit Die: d8Skill Points: 2 + Int modifierClass Skills: Alchemy (Int), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (Anatomy) (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int) BAB: As a wizardGood Saves: Fortitude and Will    Class FeaturesSpells per Day: At 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th level gained in the combat healer class, the character gains new spells per day spells as if she had also gained a level in the spellcasting class she can cast cure serious wounds in. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of controlling or rebuking undead, more frequent remove disease, and so on).  If a character had more than one spellcasting class that grants cure moderate wounds before she became a combat healer, the player must decide which class to assign each level of combat healer for the purpose of determining spells per day.Spontaneous Casting: at 1st level combat healers gain the ability to channel stored spell energy into healing spells that they haven't prepared ahead of time. The combat healer can "lose" a prepared spell in order to cast any cure spell of the same level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with "cure" in its name).  This only works for the class the combat healer is advancing spellcasting for.Extra Domain "Healing": Upon adopting the combat healer class, the character gains access to the domain of Healing in the class the combat healer is advancing spellcasting.Lay on Hands: At 2nd level the combat healer can cure a total number of hit points equal to the combat healer's Charisma bonus times the combat healer's level, as the paladin’s ability. The combat healer can cure themselves. The combat healer may choose to divide her curing among multiple recipients, and he or she doesn't have to use it all at once. This ability stacks with the Paladin’s lay on hands. Lay on hands is a spell-like ability whose use is a standard action. Bonus Feats: At levels 3, 6, and 9 the combat healer gets a bonus feat from the following list, all prerequisites must still be met: (Player’s Handbook) Brew Potion, Combat Casting, Craft Wand, Dodge, Empower Spell, Extra Turning, Maximize Spell, Mobility, Quicken Spell, Silent Spell, Scribe Spell, Still Spell, (Defenders of the Faith) Divine Cleansing, Divine Might, Divine Resistance, Divine Shield, Divine Vengeance, Divine Vigor, Reach Spell (Tome and Blood), Chain Spell, Cooperative Spell, Delay Spell, Extra Slot, Innate Spell, Repeat Spell, Sanctum Spell, Subdual Substitution, Twin SpellRemove Disease: At 3rd level, a combat healer can remove disease, as the paladin ability once per week, at 6th level a combat healer can remove disease twice a week and at 9th level three times a week. Remove disease is a spell-like ability for combat healers.  If a combat healer gets a remove disease from another source (such as a paladin), the number of times per week it can be used stack.Divine Hands: At 6th level, the combat healer can lay on hands can cure a total number of hit points equal to the combat healer's Charisma bonus times the combat healer's character level.  This overlaps (does not stack wiht) the plaladin's ability.Healing Touch: At 10th level the combat healer can heal a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus (but at least one).</blockquote>
