Healer

Class

There is no power more linked to divinity than that which can give and restore life. The divine energy of the planes flows through restoration clerics, granting them the ability to give, restore, and even take life.

Healers have devoted their existence to the preservation of life in others. Many systems of belief have at their heart a tale about the spark of creation, when life came into being. Restoration clerics, however else they live, are driven to wield that spark, preserving and nurturing it wherever they can. While many do strive to preserve life for its own sake, perhaps living as pacifists or seeking a peaceful existence, many restoration clerics have lives as tumultuous as any warrior’s—they need those healing abilities for a reason! Their restorative prowess allows themselves and their allies to fight longer and harder for their cause.

Whether through long chants to higher beings, a powerful attunement to the natural world, or an oath sworn in blood to the right deity at the right time, there are many ways to gain access to this power, and just as many ways to wield it.
