[QUOTE="Koewn, post: 2167669, member: 13172"] Well, I'd been considering having 'Essences' for this Healock that modify it's heal-touch to also perhaps do poison, or disease, or whatever. I'll grant that with only...what, 12 invocations?...you'd never be able to fully replicate a Cleric, but you could only emulate fully certain roles - the Healer role, the Protector role, the Vs. Undead role, etc. The idea struck me as interesting, but I figured the largest hurdle would be the idea of unlimited healing, so I threw it out here to see if I was truly mad. In the end with invocations and essences you'd be able to do certain things alot, but you'd never have all the resources of the Cleric at your disposal - the Healock in your party may be no help versus disease or ability drain, but can cure the heck out of poison. At higher levels when damage isn't just in HP, I think the unlimited-healing, even if it's left as just straight-d6 heal, no split-nonlethal kludge, won't be as valuable as having someone who can actually get the fighter up above 5 STR quickly.
