Lifesewer
Doctors, Clerics, and the like focus on restoring a body to its natural state. Lifesewers, however, go further. They treat Life like energy, and simply shift it from one place to another. One pursues this class because they are fascinated with Life. However, doing so has a hefty cost. Many have died in the journey of this class. You may as well...
Class Skills:
Lifesewer(and the key ability for each skill) are: Concentration (Con), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (Basic Anatomy) (Int), Knowledge (Human Anatomy) (Int), Profession (Healer) (Int), Survival (Wis), Skill points: (4 + Int Mod) x 4 at 1st level
Alignment: Any-lawful. The Lifesewer believes in the inherent structure in life, and thereby must live by that belief. They can be good or evil, harming their enemies to heal their allies, or harming their allies to heal themselves. Whatever the cause, they have free will, and can practice how they choose, or how those around with power them allow them to.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: The Lifesewer is proficient with all simple weapons, and up to Heavy armor.
Life Pool (SU): The energy of the beings that live in the world is the currency of the Lifesewers, and this currency is stored in their body as a Life pool. The maximum amount of Life energy that a Lifesewer can store is listed on the table above. The way a Lifesewer charges their Life Pool is through their unique talent, Lifesewing. The points in the Life Pool are never lost due to time. This energy shall be referred to as Life Points, or LP
Lifesewing (SU): The main tool of a Lifesewer is their name sake, Lifesewing. As a standard action, a Lifesewer can make a melee touch attack against an opponent, dealing damage equal to his Heal skill modifier. Any damage dealt this way is immediately stored into the Lifesewers Life Pool. Any converted damage that would go above the Lifepool cap is lost. The Lifesewer can use LP to heal allies. By using a standard action, a Lifesewer can heal an adjacent ally points equal to any amount currently in his Life Pool, but this is a taxing process. By doing so, he is sickened for a number of rounds equal to his ½ the points healed, rounded down. Multiple uses while sickened simply extend the length of the sickening to the new value, or the old value, whichever is longer. At later levels, he grows adjusted to the process, thereby making it less stressful upon him. At level 8, it is reduced to 1/3, rounded down. At level 15, it is reduced to ¼, rounded down. If he heals them for more than ½ of his total Lifepool, he takes 1 point of temporary Con for one minute instead. If this loss of Con causes the Lifesewer’s Maximum HP to decrease, he must make a Fortitude save (10 + character level), or be Dazed for 1 round. If he uses this ability on himself, he is sickened for the regular amount.
Life Shield (SU): Once per round, the Life Sewer can expend LP to gain a iridescent shield of Life Energy around him. For every 3 points of LP expended, the Lifesewer gains 1 temporary hit points. These hit points last until an extended rest is taken, or they are removed due to damage. These temporary hit points stack with others.
Life Blade (SU): The Lifesewer has adjusted to the power they channel, and have found a way to control it, making them more menacing in battle, but at great personal risk. By expending a number of points equal to one quarter his maximum Life Pool value, he can create a Life blade. This is a move action. The weapon is considered a Masterwork one-handed Martial Weapon the Lifesewer is Proficient with, and as such can be affected by feats (Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, etc…) It deals 1d8 damage on a hit, and has a critical strike threat of 19-20/X2. The Life Blade appears as a Longsword, though it glows green, shedding light in a 10 foot radius. In addition, the Lifesewer can reverse the Lifepool’s power through it. Upon making a successful attack against an opponent with the Life Blade, the Lifesewer can deal damage to himself and the target equal to any amount from his Life Pool.
The blade gains a increasing +1 bonus to it every 3 levels (+1 at 8, +2 at 11, +3 at 14, +4 at 17, +5 at 20)
Remove Disease (SU): The Lifesewer can heal people as the Remove Disease spell, caster level equal to his own, at a cost of 12 life points.
Life Bond (SU): At Level 10, the Lifesewer can link his life to his companions. Doing so takes 1 hour of contemplation with each ally (up to a maximum number equaling his Con modifier), and connects their Life forces. If that ally would be brought to negative hit points or below, the Lifesewer can use a swift action to take the damage from the attack upon himself. The damage he can take is limited to his current Life Pool points. If he wishes to take the damage, he must also expend Life Pool points equal to the damage he would take. He cannot use this ability if he has no Life Pool points.
Regenerate (SU): The life sewer can now use his life energy to heal those around him, as the Regenerate spell, caster level equal to Life Sewer level. This costs 38 LP to use.
My Life is the Link to Yours (SU): The Lifesewer is now so attuned with the energy he wields, he can restore it to those who have lost it. Once per day, as a full-round action, the Life-sewer can restore to life any creature that has died within the hour. Doing so takes points from his blood pool equal to the creature’s level x 2, and the Lifesewer is sickened for one hour following. The creature is raised as the Raise Dead spell, and as such loses 1 level or 2 points of Con, if the creature was level 1.
Pure Essence (EX): At level 20, the Lifesewer is at the pinnacle of his power. When using his Life Pool through is Life Blade to hurt an enemy, he only takes ½ the damage dealt. He gains a +2 inherent bonus to his Constitution.
He is also gains Blindsense out to 100 ft. This allows him to pinpoint the presence of living creatures, but does not negate the miss chance against creatures that have cover.
Once per day, when the Lifesewer would be reduced to negative hitpoints, he can as an immediate action expend all points in his lifepool to heal himself as his Lifesewer ability.
The Lifesewer also stops aging, though still experiences all the effects of aging they already had before reaching Level 20.
