For certain reasons, this will not include most the fluff...
Probably the most over powered out of combat healer ever reasonably devised...
Warning, the following material is rated PG-13 for implied content. Implied. It should be fine.
If it further helps my case, this is heavily modified from an existing 5 level prestige class.

Without further ado:



The Sacred Something
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/SacredSomething.jpg


Abilities: Charisma is by far the most important as it supplements her casting and abilities. A sacred something may not need any other stat, as she concentrates on healing, buffing, and providing aid when the combat is over.

Organization: Sacred somethings exist within most churches and a way of communion with patron's deities. They can be found often in big churches so long as chastity isn't one of there key selling points.

Alignment: Sacred somethings can be of any alignment.

Religion: Sacred somethings don't usually worship any one deity. She serves all yet no deities, as it is not her own faith in a deity but that of those who come to her that matters. Still. Good gods do not commune through an evil sacred something unless the faith of the patron is particularly strong and he doesn't know it. Evil gods can find it difficult to use a good sacred something due to all the positive energy around them, but otherwise they don't usually have any qualms against it.

Background: Sacred somethings come from a diverse background and don't have an overall common history behind them.

Races: Any race can serve as a sacred something. Some races are more drawn to it then others, more suited or capable, such as; Nymph, Aasimar, Changeling, or Human.

Other Classes: Its fairly certain that nearly any class or race would be most appreciative of the sacred something's service in a party. However what it comes down to is personality and the way they grew up. Some people may find the sacred something to be nothing more then a glorified [something]. Others may wonder why they are not considered evil. It depends on the background and personal views of the character. The one class that could have the most problems with the sacred something would be the beloved of Valarian, who are nearly the opposite of the sacred something. The beloved of Valarian value chastity, and cannot even find simple love without being abandoned by their class. As such the two usually pity the other more then anything. They don't often meet however, as sacred somethings are found in cities that will have them and beloved of Valarian are found in the wilds.

Role: Sacred Somethings are very hard to beat when it comes to out of combat support. They are great negotiators, smooth talkers, and can care for the party uplifting spirits in the darkest of places and restoring their vitality.

Class Features:

Weapons and Armor Proficiency:
The Sacred Something is not proficient with any armor or shields, and is proficient only in Simple Weapons.

Special: Any reference to charisma in this class can be replaced by appearance at the players option if it is used in the game.

Spellcasting:
The Sacred Something casts spells like a sorcerer using the Cleric spell list with a spells per day as listed on the table and a number of spells known given on the upcoming table.
The Sacred Something can choose a domain. This domain can be from any source as your alignment permits, as sacred something does not need to worship a singular deity to gain her abilities, but its a collective of general divine energy (sacred somethings frequently commune with a variety deities). You do gain the Granted Power. If it would grant you a Turning ability, you can gain the Turn Undead class feature but only for the granted power's purpose.
At Tenth level, Orisons can be cast at-will. No orison can be cast more then 10 times without a 20minute cooldown.

1; The Sacred Something gets bonus spells from having a Domain.

Aura of Ease (Ex):
At 1st level, a sacred something's dedication the her cause radiates an aura that makes others feel more comfortable, especially in regards to certain matters. The sacred something adds her class levels to all Bluff and Diplomacy checks that have a certain component to them, including seductions, flirtation, and using certain traits to get her way.
Every time she gains a new Spell Level, she gains +2 deflection bonus to AC. ie; at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 15th. A Sacred Something isn't very useful if she's dead or incapacitated by the end of an encounter.

Special Talent (Ex):
At 1st level, a sacred something can perform certain acts with a partner. When doing so, they tap into divine power to grant a benefit. Choose one of the following:

(Divine) Gather Information: The partner can make a Gather Information check about something without ever leaving the Sacred Something's side.
(Arcane) Knowledge: The partner gains a bit of divine insight. He or she gains a +5 bonus to a knowledge skill for 24 hours.
(Healing) Heal: The partner can benefit from the Heal skill using the Sacred something's heal skill +5, as if she took 10 on the check.

To benefit from this ability, the sacred something and her partner must engage in a certain activity for at least 20 minutes (Constitution check DC 15) requiring a perform (Somekinda' technique) at the end of the 20 minutes at a DC 15. If both checks succeed the partner benefits from the selected use.

Special Healing I (Su) (Healing):
Starting at 2nd level, a sacred something's certain acts have beneficial effects on their partners. The subject must engage in the activity for at least 20 minutes, requiring a constitution check DC 15. The sacred something must make a Perform (Somekinda' Technique)(DC 15) check after the act. If successful, the subject is healed for 1d8+1/level+Cha and cured of any and all of the following adverse conditions:
Confused, Dazed, Dazzled, Exhausted, Fatigued, feebleminded, nauseated, sickened, and stunned.
In addition, the sacred something's partner is healed a number of ability damage equal to the sacred something's charisma modifier. This healing occurs to only one ability score at a time. The power of the sacred something even heals ability damage brought on by class features. Special Healing removes all negative moral penalties the creature has. A seperate Perform (Somekinda' Technique) check must be made for a second Ability score. A sacred something may use this ability with another sacred something, though only one may gain the benefit of this effect at any one time.


Special Healing II (Su):
At 4th level, a sacred something's healing ability becomes more powerful. This is as the special healing I ability listed above, but in addition, the act also dispels curses as if by remove curse. Special healing II also cures wounds as if by cure serious wounds, with a caster level equal to the sacred something's total level. Special Healing II requires 30minutes of sustained activity.
Special Healing III (Su):
At 8th level, a sacred something's healing ability becomes mroe powerful. This is as special healing I and II abilities listed above, with the added effect of functioning as remove disease and this restores health as if by Cure Critical Wounds and can restore two ability scores at a time for a number of points equal to her Charisma modifier. III requires 40minutes of sustained activity.
Special Healing IV (Su):
At level 13, The Sacred Something's healing ability further increases. By spending the same 20 minutes at a Perform (Somekinda' Technique) DC of 25 with a dead body deceased 24 hours or less, the sacred something can cast Raise Dead at no material cost (totally not necrophilia) as the corpse's faculties slowly come back online until its life is returned to it. The subject loses one level as normal.
If used on a Living partner, she can give them the benefit of a Heal spell.
For instead of IV the sacred something can perform as III with the following extra benefit; the partner can leave the scene feeling newly invigorated; The partner gains the effects of Bulls Strength, Cats Grace, or Bears Endurance for 24 hours. IV requires 50minutes of sustained activity.
Special Healing V (Su)
Special Healing now grants the effects of Regenerate throughout the certain activity, and at a DC 25 Perform (Somekinda' Technique) the partner is healed as if by Restoration Greater at half the XP cost paid by the partner.
As with all features save for spellcasting and Aura of Special Ease, it requires at least 20 minutes of a certain act before the Greater Restoration kicks in.
If she performs this on a dead body the time limit for which it has been dead is one year per level and it acts like True Resurrection so long as a portion remains at least the size of a finger, minimum. The material cost is supplied by whoever is paying for the act and they just look pretty nearby or who knows, maybe the diamonds get in on the act as well (sounds like a crazy dream XD).
Special Healing V cannot resurrect someone who has died of Old Age, but if used on a living person they will grow younger by 5% their total age per sacred something level to the age there race becomes an adult. This takes away penalties to aging but not the benefits however they can only benefit from each age categories bonuses once. V requires 60minutes of sustained activity.


Bonus Feats:
At every indicated level, the Sacred Something gains a bonus ["Special"] feat that she meets the requirements for. Instead of a "Special" feat, you can take a metamagic feat if you wish.

Charisma bonus:
At the indicated levels, the sacred something's charisma is glorified. Her body changes, and the knowledge she possesses and skill she wields is evident in her form or posture. She receives an untyped +1 bonus to charisma at the given levels.

Special Communion (Su) (Divine):
The primary role of the sacred something is to act as a liaison between worshipers and their deity. While engaging in certain acts with a person, a sacred something can act as a conduit with their deity, gaining bits of wisdom to the person they couple with. To use this ability, the sacred something must engage in certain acts for at least 20 minutes, after which time she may cast Divination, with a maximum chance of success (90%), eschewing material components. However, the divination must deal directly with the person she is engaging in certain activities with and the question must be asked before the act occurs. A sacred somethign may not use this ability to determine her own future, although she may perform the act with another sacred something to glean such information.


Special Communion I (Su):
The primary role of the sacred something is to act as a liaison between worshipers and their deity. While engaging in certain acts with a person, a sacred something can act as a conduit with their deity, gaining bits of wisdom to the person they couple with. To use this ability, the sacred something must engage in certain acts for at least 20 minutes, after which time she may cast Divination, with a maximum chance of success (90%), eschewing material components. However, the divination must deal directly with the person she is engaging in certain activities with and the question must be asked before the act occurs. A sacred somethign may not use this ability to determine her own future, although she may perform the act with another sacred something to glean such information.
Special Communion II (Su):
At tenth level, the sacred something can better act as a connection to her partner's deity.
This functions as Special Communion I, however up to one question can be answered per sacred something level as if by the spell Commune. However, no XP component is required and the holy water material component is supplied by... alternative means.
As with Communion I, The Sacred Something cannot divine something about herself. Questions that are directly about the sacred something asked by the partner fail and are skipped. Also as with Communion I, a sacred something can still get these questions by partnering with a different sacred something. But only one can benefit from the questions at a time. II requires 30minutes of sustained activity.
Special Communion III (Su):
At level 14, the sacred something can open itself to her partner's deity who can fill her mind with the knowledge her partner seeks.
This effect functions like Communion I, but she can use Discern Location instead of Divination.
Alternatively, they can repeat the session once a day for 5 days with no benefit until the fifth to gain the effects of Legend Lore at no material cost or focus. III requires 40minutes of sustained activity.
Special Communion IV (Su):
As special Communion I but instead of Divination, the partner can benefit from Foresight for 24 hours and before the act begins they can designate anyone they know as the subject of the Foresight (See "Foresight", the subject in this case being who the partner wishes to know about.). IV requires 50minutes of sustained activity.


Restorative Act(Su) (Arcane):
At 5th level, once per day, a sacred something may engage in certain activities with a spellcaster, restoring any spell slots that he may have used for that day. The sacred something must make a Perform (Somekinda' technique) check against a DC equal to 10+the spellcaster's class level. On a success, the spellcaster's spells are restored as if he had prepared spells (Like a wizard or ranger) or meditated as normal (like a cleric, sorcerer, or other spontaneous caster). They must engage in certain activities for at least 20 minutes, requiring a separate stamina check. Failure indicates that the restorative act did not work and the spellcaster maintains the same number of spells available for that day as before the act. A sacred something may use this ability with another sacred something, though only one may regain spells at a time.

Restorative Act II (Su):
At level 11, a sacred something's ability to replenish spells increases. She can use Restorative Act twice a day. One caster cannot benefit from the effect more then once per day however.
Restorative Act can now also effect noncasters, replenishing a partner's daily uses of racial traits or class features. II requires 40minutes of sustained activity.
Restorative Act III (Su)
As with II, but the sacred something gains an extra use per day. She can now restore three people this way per day. III requires 40minutes of sustained activity.
Restorative Act IV (Su):
As with II, but the sacred something gains more uses per day.
She can now use Restorative Act 3+Cha times per day.
In addition, for 24 hours they can benefit from a Minor Restorative Act which functions like Restorative Act I but is not limited per day, it restores a number of spell slots of the lowest unfilled level equal to the sacred something's charisma modifier. IV requires 50minutes of sustained activity.

Take Part (Ex):
At level 10, the Sacred Something can now benefit from her own Special Healing at the same time as her partner(s) so long as the Special Healing is one category less then her current Special Healing ability. For example, at this level you can perform Special healing III, so you could benefit from Special Healing II.

Take Part II (Ex):
At level 20, the Sacred Something can now benefit from her Restorative Act and Special Healing class abilities at the same time as her partners. She OR the partner can benefit from her Communion abilities.

Self Service:
You can perform your class features upon yourself.


Paragons Height (Ex):
The Sacred Something is now something else. Divine power from many different sources fuels her, it reinforces her.
She gains DR 20 which can only be overcome by a weapon that has witnessed the Sacred Something's Communion ability and she has Regeneration 5 which can only be overcome by a weapon coated in the sacred something's own *ahem*... Holy Water...
When she is not dead or dying, her Regeneration is superseded by a Fast Healing of 25 that can be overcome by a weapon that belongs to a character with the Vow of Chastity feat.
And finally, the Sacred something is eligible for Divine Rank Zero at the DM's option, usually after a few more levels of proving herself in specific deity related quests.


Epic Progression!
{table=head]Level | Special
22th | Grand Special Healing
23th | Grand Commune
25th | Grand Restorative Act
[/table]
Grand Healing (Su): Completely revitalizes the target to full capability and permanently increases one statistic by 2 as a sacred bonus. You can use Grand Special Healing on spirits and ghosts, allowing you to perform True Resurrection through this ability without physical remains. Ghosty undead are harder to please however. DC 35 Perform (Somekinda' Technique)
Using Grand Special Healing requires an hour instead of 20 minutes. At the end of one hour the effects occur.
Grand Commune (Su): Directly communicate with the partner's deity who can tell you all that it would have the partner know at this time.
Using Grand Commune requires an hour instead of 20 minutes. At the end of one hour the effects occur.
Grand Act (Su): Gain two more uses to Restorative Act per day. As previous Restorative Acts, and partners regenerate one use of any and all daily abilities per hour.
Using Grand Act requires an hour instead of 20 minutes. At the end of one hour the effects occur.




==============
The Act
==============
This class references a certain act to be performed from 20 to 60 minutes. Where would it be if no one knew how to perform this certain act?
Here it is! The grand rules for the Act.

I present you two options. One for quick and clean mechanics, and another for more creative play.


Edit:
For obvious reasons, I cannot share what I have on rules for "The Act", sorry.

Shouldn't a 'certain act' make you exhausted or fatigued?

No it wasn't in the book-that-must-not-be-named. I included it. And as stated: (It totally isn't Necrophilia) She's doing it to resurrect the person is all. Unless she fails and needs to repeat it XD I'd feel sorry for her then. And if your a realistic DM there would probably be like a -10 to perform the resurrection in this manner.

Her dedication prevents her from leaving the class until at least tenth level. If she leaves the class, she loses her class features. Racial levels or Level Adjustments do not count against this.

Hold on, so can an SS leave the class after 10th level without losing all features, or are those two things meant to be separate rules?


This domain can be from any nonevil source as a sacred something does not need to worship a singular deity to gain her abilities, but its a collective of general divine energy (sacred somethings frequently commune with a variety deities). You do gain the Granted Power. If it would grant you a Turning ability, you can gain the Turn Undead class feature but only for the granted power's purpose.


Cool, but in the alignment section, it says that the SS can be of any alignment, so why is their power source restricted to nonevil alignments? It's not actually a problem (evil characters are comfortable with neutral powers, and in your religion description it says that there can be some crossover alignment-wise), but it seems kind of weird to have that restriction here but not in the entry requirements.

One other stylistic note; some of the word choice is a little vague and you allude to some stats/ability scores that I don't think are really appropriate under the 3.5 title heading, such as 'stamina' and 'appearance' which don't sound like 3.5 mechanics at all. You also mention something like metaphysical spellshaper but you don't explain what they are or where you would find them in the sourcebooks.

It's definitely an interesting class; it reminds me of a tricked out Healer, with a more cumbersome yet more powerful healing mechanic that's kept separate from her spell selection. The healing ability is clearly noncombat focused since it takes so long and requires a skill check on top of that but it's a good way to clear off ability damage until Restorations come on line.

I was about to remove that completely. Sacred something doesn't really get anything to merit level dippers in any case unless their idea of dipping is taking the entire class.

Ah, yes. I made that before I decided that the Sacred Something would be available for all deities and instead use the collective of divine energy that surrounds them brought on from the many gods of her various partners. I'll fix that.
I think. I seem to have acknowledged that... I wonder what I was thinking at the time XD. Fixed anyway.

Stamina was not a statistic. Neither was Vigor or other things. Appearance is a new statistic introduced in the book this class is based off.
Metaphysical Spellshaper. I have no idea what it is. It was part of the main ability, like I stated this use to be a 5 level prestige class I stretched out. All I abilities except for Special Healing II are almost entirely copied from the prestige.
I figured the prestige listed it, so it must be somewhat important *Shrug*. So I didn't remove it.

Or saving your spell slots for purely buff or area of effect spells and provide your awesome care when the combat is over. At higher levels, so long as the Sacred Something survives the encounter, your party is fairly immortal. And happy. Very Happy. Unless someone in the party has the Vow of Chastity. He might not be so happy.

I could use more Peaches. I want this class to succeed. It just doesn't feel... "complete" yet, You know what I mean?

I removed the excess from "Dedication", renamed it Aura of Ease like it was originally.

2012-06-04, 05:16 PM
I've added four feats special for this class.

I've added Special Talent class ability at first level so the Sacred Something doesn't have to wait for multiple levels before she can taste the full flavor of her class. That is to say, the Special Talent ability lets her use a minor form of the three main class abilities at first level.

Is that alright? Is it too good for a 1st level ability? Would someone want to just dip that first level and move on?

Ralasha
2012-06-04, 05:58 PM
Yeah, I know what you mean, you want to release it fully. In all it's glory.

I would suggest that you limit the amount of healing the class can 'perform'.

It takes twenty minutes a pop. You only have so many minutes in a day/before the next encounter.

Then, the system details The Act. Unless you have huge Constitution, Fortitude, and Charisma, you can't lay in bed all day serving investigators looking to borrow your services to heal, restore spells, or commune to their deity.


I'm working on a Pathfinder version. It will mostly be the same, since Pathfinder is just a more interesting but a bit more underpowered version of 3.5.

That post will include details on The Act. I just hope simply replacing words is enough XD I'll PM it to a mod for review before I post it so I don't take chances.

Just call it... cuddling. Perform Cuddling, the Sacred 'Cuddler'.

I'd always ask my roommate 'Hey, wanna cuddle?' and she would throw a pillow at my head. It made ralasha sad. :smallfrown:

Cuddler. I wish I thought of that XD. Its too late now though. That'd be a lot of reworking.

D: No cuddles?

No peaches?
I don't know Pathfinder as well as I know 3.5 and so.
So I really need someone who can tell me if that is actually playable in a Pathfinder game.

Placeholder removed, I cannot share the actual Act here as its to implied to the point of not being implied at all when I actually try to describe The Act.
So I will not be sharing those, but there are many ways to find rules yourself. I know at least three sourcebooks for it for one.

I've received no word on Special Talent yet. Is it too much? Could it be... well, more abused then normal for a First level ability? Spending 20 minutes for a Gather Information check without ever leaving one spot is pretty nice if I do say so. The Heal check, I don't think most people use heal anyway, and the knowledge is pretty standard for a skill boost.


If no one replies, this is my last post in here and I'll run on the knowledge that its as good as its gonna get.

Yeah, it looks pretty solid to me too. I really think it would be hard to evaluate this class any further than already has been done without being familiar with the source material (I still have literally no idea where to find 'metaphysical spellshapers' or even what they are -- are they a prestige class? An in-game guild or group?) But that seems to be a relatively small part of this class anyway so you could probably use this class as is in both Pathfinder and 3.5 just by getting rid of that line.

I meant new peachies for the PF, and the Talent.
But yea, You seem to be the only one who wants to post here more then once XD.

Edit: Ninja'd.
How incredibly coincidental! I was just thinking "Well, you and Steward" But I looked and you only posted once so I thought I was crazy..

Thanks.

I think its an obscure class somewhere. It sounds like something you'd find in Unearthed Arcana, or something that deals in Essence or whatever.
I'll remove it.

Aha! I know what it was missing. For some reason I glazed over it.
I didn't have a Middle or Capstone!

I have included them. Gives more reason to take the levels, since it doesn't feel as much like you only get three things and they just improve over the levels.

Looking better? Or should I include two smallerish abilities for 5th and 15th as well... Or would that just overstuff it... hmm...
