[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 1433022, member: 6584"] With you on the sorceror/wizard lists - figured that's what it meant... can't see exactly how to word it, but if someone tried to read it like that then I'd tell them to think about it. Then throw dice at them. Ah, glad to clarify the conjure nature of healing... had a look through my PhB last night - think it'd add some interesting stuff there, but nothing problem causing. In combat is where the cost really kicks in... they have no choice about whether to pay blood or not. Will take quite a lot of healing to keep them going, if they havn't kept up to date with the sacrifices. I agree that outside combat, many camapigns wouldn't find the damage cost a problem. Wands of cure light by the dozen... I think a mild version of Vile damage could be the answer? Even if it's just that the damage can't be healed for an hour after it's taken? Would make those sacrifices a whole lot more attractive, which would be the point if a PC was using this class. For an NPC not a problem. IMC, don't think True Res. would be a problem - any god that allowed their clerics access to this is unlikely to allow 'cost free' true resurections. I realise this is an RPG 'flaw', so sue me! Certain other spells would start to look like very attractive options - Symbol for example. For very high price costs I'd add an extra feature - perhaps the caster takes some of the damage himself (regardless of sacrifices) and it can only heal at ability score speeds (1/day). This can only be offset by making special sacrifces - virgins, princesses, adult dragons, etc - think it could make for some interesting plot hooks. It did smack of NPC class to me as well... think it's excellent BBEG material. You're right - could work well with a vampire - (fast healing :eek: )... Just add purple sunglasses, frilly shirt and the Angst! and you'd have a winner. :D [/QUOTE]
