His classic role, however, is geared towards being the party medic. Seasoned clerics who are called to serve by keeping adventurers alive, and healing the sick and dying, train as apothecaries. These apothecaries are skilled in mundane healing as well as magical healing, so they are always ready to treat.Prerequisites:Wis 15+, Heal 12 ranks, able to cast 5th level divine spells, Cleric 9, Combat Casting, Self-Sufficient.Alignment: Any goodOther:Apothecary levels count as caster levels.Skill points: 2+int modSkills: As cleric.Hit Die: d10- The apothecary needs to be the last man to go down so that he may bring the rest back up. As such, he trains to be tougher.Attack Bonus: 1/2Good saves: Fort, WillProficiencies: All Armor, no weapons, no shields.All healing spells are allowed at full capacity, yet there is a sharp limit to the capacity for other spells.Acceptable non-healing apothecary spells:0 Detect Poison, Purify food and drink, Virtue1 Deathwatch (with the Evil descriptor removed), Remove Fear, Sanctuary2 Aid, Calm Emotions, Gentle Repose, Status3 Dispel Magic, Remove Curse, 4 Death Ward, Freedom of Movement(?)5 Atonement(?, heal the soul), Break Enchantment, Hallow6 Dispel Magic+, Heroes' Feast(?)7 (Only healing spells at this level are usable)8 Surelife9 MiracleA cleric spell not on the list is castable only at the character's cleric level. Healing spells and spells on the list are treated exactly as if you had a cleric level equal to your total other divine spellcaster levels (apothecary, cleric, druid, etc).A Clr10/Apo 5 could cast Consecrate as if he were 10th level, and Resurrection as though he were 15th. In addition, his spell progression is equal to that of a cleric for any healing spell or spell on the list.  He can't prepare other divine spells at a level higher than his highest other divine spellcaster class level.Apothecaries can't turn undead.1st level- You may replace any current domain with Healing. In addition, you cast Conjuration(Healing) spells at your cleric level + your apothecary level..2nd level- Apothecaries get their class level as a bonus to all heal checks and attempts to beat poison and disease. In addition, they are instantly aware of any failures.3rd level- You can treat as many people at a time as your Wisdom score. Long term care can be performed in 4 hours rather than 8, and treating a disease or a spike-borne injury takes 5 minutes.4th level- Providing first aid, treating a wound, or treating poison is a free action. Doing a combination of any of these is a standard action.5th level- Can spontaneously cast any spell in the Conjuration (healing) subschool6th level- Apothecaries auto-stabilize once they approach negative hp, as long as they are not already damaged to the point of death.7th level- When you restore a creature to life, that creature chooses whether he loses 2 points from his constitution, or a level.8th- HP gains from healing on your part are doubled.9th- You gain Spell-like ability: Deathwatch and Status/at will. Deathwatch doesn't count as evil for an apothecary.*10th- Successful stabilization can restore a dying creature to 1 hp.*(Nor should it, period, IMO)Advice?</blockquote>
