*See level 7 power named Vitae deracumus

   Healers advances in level a little bit slower than priests because of their numerous special powers. At level 1 they get 6 hit points (No dice roll required. Every time they reach a level they get 1d4+2 hp until they reach level 9. After level 9 they only get 2 hp when they reach a new level.
   The healer use the same saving throw than priest and he gets the same amount of combat and non-combat skills than priest.

Experience gained with using special powers:
   A Healer, like any magic user, will gain experience for using his powers. To know how much he receives, you have to multiply the number of Healing points used by the level of the power used and to multiply the result by 5 (Healing points * level of the power * 5= Experience gained)

Role-playing
   A Healer is by definition a person who devotes his life to healing people (or himself). That explain why most of the healer are good or neutral and like to help other people. They will try to help anyone who is in trouble, mostly is that person is wounded.
   A Healer will never try to kill someone for no reason. He will kill someone if he knows that person is evil or if he thinks that person want to kill or hurt him or anyone else. Healer are everything but violent people that's why they are not very good in combat and don't like to wear heavy armors and weapon.
   Another reason why a healer will not wear metal armors is because most of them lived in the forest before becoming specialists in that art of Healing, they think that the Healing force comes from nature. They study and live in the forest for years to try to drain as must power as possible so that they can get more healing effectiveness.
   Another reason that pushes the Healer to get more and more power is it's ultimate goal of achieving the Perfection. This perfection can be obtained by reaching level 14 and making a ceremony (described below in the level 7 power named Vitae deracumus). Achieving this alignment is so important for the Healer that if the get 40 years old (for humans and 200 for elves) without getting it they will try to kill themselves.
   The Healer is a very sociable person and will try not to have enemies but only friends.

Movement
   The Healers learnt to move very quickly and mostly in forest, that's why they have a base movement of 14 and can move at the same speed in any kind of forest (even if it is very dense).

Armor and weapons
   As it is said above, the Healer can use any weapon but he gets a +1 to hit and a +1 to damages if he uses a small or a medium weapon.
   Healers can also use any armor but they gets a -3(bonus) to their AC if they use natural armors (not made of metal). Also when they wear armor that are made of any kind of metal they lose their all their skills (healing skill, movement bonus and weapon bonus)

Wealth option
   The Healer always starts with 3d6*10gp at level 1, Healers also gets a very resistant (more than normal) leather armor and a wooden shield at their creating. These items are a gift made by those who trained the Healer.

Sphere of magic
   Healers can't use any spells.

Magical items
   The Healer can't use any magical items reserved to other classes.
   At level 6 the Healer can start making enhanced healing potions, he can make those potions with plants that can be found in any forests. If he already has the plants he will need one day to make a 3 points potion, he can work any number of days which will add points to the potion to a maximum of 10. If he has to search for the plants he will only be able to make a 2 point potion per day, because the plant or chosen by the Healer and were taken only a little time before the Healer makes the potion he can make potions that have 14 points. Each points on the potion will heal the person who drinks it for 1d4 HP.
   At level 8 a Healer can learn to prepare any potion.
   The Healer cannot make any magical items beside potions.

Perfection powers
   When a Healer reaches level 15 he starts to get special powers every level until he reaches level 20, these powers are automatically given to the Healer and he does not have to use the Power points he gets every two levels. These powers are also free to use, they do not require the Healer to use any Healing points or anything else.

The Healer's powers
   Healers gain new powers every time they get 2 levels (at level 2,4,6,8...). Every time they get new power they roll 1d3 (d6/2) that they multiply by the highest power level they can get, this number is the number of Power Points the healer has, the level of the power the Healer chooses is the number of Power Points required to get it but remember that a Healer can't choose a power higher than half his level (a level 6 Healer can chose power of level 3 or lower but not level 4 powers, if a healer is level 7 he would only be able to use level 3 powers too). The level of the power also represent the number of healing points needed to use the skill (unless something else is said in the power description). At level 1 the healer gets 1 power.

Healing points:
   Healing points are given to Healers to help them becoming more powerful. They rate of Healing Point acquisition for each level can be found using this formula: where I = intelligence W = wisdom; 1d4+([I+W])/9), (rounded down)    An example: If a healer has 15 intelligence and 11 wisdom he gets:
1d4+((15+11)÷9)=1d4+(26÷9)=1d4+2.888=1d4+2 healing points every level. Healing points are used by the Healer when he uses his power (described below) more he uses Healing points more the power is powerful.
   Used Healing Points come back to the Healer at a rate of 2 per hour of sleep or 4 per hour of meditation.

Using a power:
   Using a power requires one complete combat round. If you are using the individual initiative, the Healer adds +1 to his roll to know when he'll be able to use his power.

Here are the effects of the power: Invisibility: This effect can be used on The Healer himself or on anyone else. It allows the person to become invisible for a number of rounds equal to the number of Healing points used -1 (if 3 Healing points are used, the person will become invisible for 2 rounds). As long as the person is invisible it gets a -4 to his AC and a +1 to hit. Since this power is only an illusion any person near the invisible creature (50 feet or less) has 10% chances to see the invisible creature minus 1% per Healing points used to do so (not the same that were used for the number of rounds) Soundless: This effect allows the Healer or anyone not to make any sounds when moving.

If he survives he will permanently lose 5 HP.
Vampire	This power can be cast on the healer or on any priest or wizard. It allows the weapon his is using to heal him when damaging his opponent with it. The number of points gained by the Healer are equal to the number of damages done to the opponent divided by 2.
Level 7 powers
Vitae deracumus:	At level 14 the Healer MUST take this power before anything else. It does not cost anything to use but the Healer has to meditate for 5 days, 5 hours and 5 minutes. A mistake of 1 minute will cause the power to fail and the Healer will lose 2 levels and will lose the HP, Healing Points and powers he got when reaching level 13 and 14. The Healer will have to find a way to know when the time is done because nothing will tell him to stop or not to stop. After reaching level 14, the Healer will not get any experience until he uses this power. Before spending the 5 days, 5 hours and 5 minutes meditating the Healer must light 55 candles that each have a diameter of 5 inches and that are 55 inches tall. He must also spread a very rare spice called Vatae in the room he will meditate in. The room must also contain 2 columns made covered of silver (a worth of at least 5000 gp) and 3 daggers with a blade made of gold and a handle made of adamantine. After meeting the requirements, the Healer can start meditating. When the 5 days, 5 hours and 5 minutes are finished the Healer will lose all the experience he has and will get level 15. He will be able to continue his progressing and get level 16 and more. The ceremony is very important for the Healers, every of them dream of it but they has to wait level 14 before they can gather enough energy to transform. This ceremony will completely purify the Healer; this purification will change the alignment of the Healer to a new one that is more good than lawful good called perfection. After level 14 a lot of thing will change for the Healer, you can find them above.
Nuke	This power is a very destructive spell, it allows the Healer to physically damage any creature (even if it is good) at a fairly high cost. This power only affects one creature and it deals a number of damages equal to the number of Healing points used -10 multiplied by 3 (if 20 Healing points are used the power deals 30 damages: 20-10=10 10*3=30). The power can't deal more than 50 damages and the Healer has to rest for 1 round after using the power. The victim of the power is also paralyzed for 1d3 rounds if it fails his saving throw against spells.
Regeneration	This power also the Healer, or anyone else the Healer uses the power on, to get back HP or part of the body that he lost. The person with regeneration on it will get his HP back at a rate of 2HP/round for a number of round equal to the number of Healing points used-2 (if 5 Healing points are used the person will regenerate for 3 rounds) Any lost arm or leg will regenerate after 10 rounds (if the regenerate is not powerful enough the arm or leg won't come back). If two parts of the body are missing the power won't be able to regenerate them at all.
Master Heal	This power will completely heal a character (the Healer or someone else). The character will get all his HP back and it will cure any sickness the character had, as long as it was not magical.
Level 8 powers
Power of destruction	This power is similar to the level 6 power named Ultimate power but it is much more destructive. Unlike the level 6 power it does not affect only one creature but everyone in a diameter of 20 feet as long as they are evil (the power can also affect good or neutral creatures if the Healer wants but it always affects evil creatures). Everyone in the power range takes eight times the remaining Healing points that the Healer has, if he has none left or less than 10 everyone takes 80 damages. After using this power the Healer will fall to -10 HP and will be dead, he can be resurrected but he will lose 1 points of Constitution plus the one he would normally lose caused by the resurrection spell (a total of 2 points). The level 9 power Divine protection will not prevent the Healer from death.
Bring back to life	As it is said in the name of the power, it can bring someone back to life. The resurrected person will come back to life with only 1 HP but will regain his HP at the normal rate. A person that was brought back to life will permanently lose one points of Constitution. This power costs 60 Healing points to use.
Gerum Teras	This power allows the Healer and all other good creatures (and neutral if the Healer wants) to get all their HP back and to be cured of all the sickness they had (unless it is magical). To be healed the creature has to be at a maximum of 20 feet of the Healer. The Healer has to spend 60 Healing points to use this power.
Level 9 powers
Divine protection	As long as you has the god with you, you can't die, this is exactly how the divine protection power works. This power can only be used on the Healer himself, it also him to get all his HP back after falling under 0, the healer will look dead for 2 rounds before he gets them back. The Healer won't lose a Constitution point after being brought to life by the power. This power has to be cast on the Healer when he is fully healed and costs 50 Healing points. The power remain on the Healer until he falls to 0 and is brought back to life for the first time.
Indestruction shield	This power provides the Healer a very powerful shield around him. This shield will absorb 5 times the number of healing points minus 5 used when creating the shield (if 10 points are used the shield will protect the Healer for 25 damages: 10-5=5, 5*5=25). The shield has an AC of -3 (no dexterity adjustment) and will cause a number of damages to the person who penetrates it equal to half the number f points lost on the shield (if the person deals 6 damages, he will also take 3 damages caused to the attacker by the shield). The shield disappears after 5 hours or until it is destroyed.
Mass healing	This power allows the Healer to heal a very large amount of person. It will heal everyone (in the Healer's team) for 1d8+1 HP as long as they are at 100 feet or less of the Healer. This power costs 50 Healing points.
Level 10 powers
Duplicate	This power will create a copy of the Healer, the copy will be identical to the healer but will have no powers and no Healing points. It will have the same equipment but the magical items that the Healer had won't work on the copy. If the Healer was wounded or had any non-magical sickness, it will be transferred to the copy and the Healer will get all his HP back and will be cured of all kind of sickness. The copy will fight for the Healer until it dies after the copy has died the Healer will get all his HP back but will lose every Healing points he had when the copy was alive. This power costs the Healer 60 points.
Holy wish	This power allows the Healer to change the alignment of any creature (NPC) to lawful good. The creature will automatically become a friend of the Healer (but not a slave) and will stop attacking him if they were fighting.
God energy	This power is the most powerful power a Healer can get, it gives him the power to communicate with god and eventually to become a half-god. Since at this state a Healer must have the perfect alignment any god will be willing to talk to him, but before getting the God Energy power, the Healer simply can't have a way of being in permanent communication with gods. The Healer has to pay 1 Healing points per day to activate the power and he can't stop paying after he used it once. After a week of communication with god the Healer will be proposed (if he has a charisma of at least 17) to become a half-god. This honor can't be refused by any Healer so he will accept. If the Healer does not have at least 17 of charisma the god will be very angry at him because he made them wasting a lot of time, they will remove all his level 10 powers and will also remove his perfection alignment which is a tragic event for the Healer, almost all the Healer to whom this attribute has been removed have killed themselves a few days after the event, the ultimate goal of a Healer is to obtain this alignment so they do not see any reason to live after that. After the Healer accepted to become a half-god the king of the god (his name depends on the god you are using) will ask him to do something to show his courage (DM's choice), if the Healer fails he dies and if he get through the test he will be ready to get his new status. The King will now ask him to climb on the highest mountain in the region and will start transferring the power to the Healer. The transfer will last for a maximum of 5 minutes, during this step the Healer has 70% minus his intelligence and wisdom to become totally mad (if a healer has a wisdom of 15 and an intelligence of 15 too he will have 40% chances of becoming mad). Such a crazy person can't access to the god domain and since he already have the powers the god will have to kill him. If the Healer passes this last test he is ready to become a half-god. He will leave the earth and follow the others gods, never he'll come back again on the world he knew before.
