[QUOTE="Thurmas, post: 7243587, member: 6866167"] I'm not sure I would compare it to the cleric as much as compare it to the other ranger subclasses and their spell progression. This was a tough subclass to build, because I had to come up with viable replacements for spells, as well as other unique abilities. I also had to follow along with where conclave abilities were given. That's reasonable. It also manages to coincide when the spellcasting ranger would get Lesser Restoration. Not a bad idea. This is in many ways better then Greater Restoration, which is a spell the ranger normally doesn't get. Even if it was on his spell list, level 15 would be 2 levels sooner then he would get it as a 5th level spell. Plus, it's not limited to spell slots and it doesn't cost 100gp each cast. I wouldn't mind some improvement to healing, but it has to have an economy to it similar to spell slots. I had considered a pool of points similar to lay on hands, but I didn't want to directly copy that ability. The medicine skill is a great add, and expertise later. Sorry I overlooked that. I'm not sure I can do the other skills, since most of those are all ready granted by the class and/or favored terrain. Its tough adding abilities without them seeming magical.
