Abilities:
Draw Pain:
As a standard action, a Curator may touch an injured being and heal them, taking their wounds upon himself. The injured being is healed for as many hitpoints as the Curator desires, up to the Curator's current health total, and the Curator takes that much damage. The Curator cannot reduce his HP to below 0 by this method. The Curator then gains a Fast healing of [healed hitpoints / 5] for 5 rounds. This fast healing replaces any fast healing the Curator has if it is greater than that fast healing.
Draw Weakness:
As a standard action, a Curator may touch a being who has suffered some sort of ability damage and take that damage upon himself. This works for as many points of damage as the Curator wishes, up to the Curator's ability score -1. The Curator cannot reduce any of his ability scores below 1 in this way. Any ability damage the Curator takes in this fashion heals at a rate of 1 point / ability score / minute.
Draw Sickness
As a full-round action, the Curator may assume the disease or poison another is carrying. To do this, a Curator must do at least 1 point of damage to himself and the sick individual with a piercing or slashing object. By touching the wounds together, the Curator may rid the individual of it's disease / poison and take it upon himself. For all purposes, the Curator is treated as if he had just contracted the disease / poison. The Curator gains a +10 bonus to Fortitude saves to resist the disease / poison.
Inflict:
As a full round action, the Curator may inflict Pain, Weakness, or Sickness that he has taken from one being onto another. To inflict any of these, the Curator must make a successful unarmed attack against his opponent. This attack deals no damage. Special: To inflict Sickness, both the Curator and the individual must have taken at least 1 point of damage from a piercing or slashing weapon. The Curator is healed of anything that he inflicts. He may only inflict 1 affect at a time. He may only inflict 1 / day / Curator level
Recall to life:
A fully healed Curator may call a dead being back to life. This process takes one day and requires the body of the dead being, which must be mostly whole. At the end of the day, both the Curator and the being are alive, at 0 HP, and all ability scores are at 1. These heal at a normal rate for both participants.
Note on immunities: A curator is not immune to anything he Draws from another being. That's what the bonuses for recovery symbolize.
Note on immunity to ability damage: This applies to anything that would reduce one of his ability scores, other than draw weakness, of course.
Fluffy-ness:
I see Curator's as nomadic people. Not that they're a tribe themselves, but that they spontaneously appear in the normal ranks of a tribes healers. They are usually received well, though some are feared for their ability to inflict.
IC (the beginning of a Curator): Bob the healer considered the child on the bed. The child had broken her leg in a rabbit hole earlier that day, and sat crying. Speaking soothingly to her, Bob had a sudden urge simply to touch the wound. The urge persisted until finally he gave in. To his amazement, when he touched the wound it simply disappeared. He felt a sudden, sharp, horrible pain in his leg though, and, to his horror, found that his leg was broken instead. To amazed to cry out, Bob was in for another shock: as he watched, his leg mended completely! Not even a scar was left.
I would like thoughts on Inflict; I don't want it to be underpowered, but I think it could get overpowered as is. I also need a new name for the class, and quick.
I got this idea from a Broken Sky novel I read a couple of years ago, in case anyone was wondering.
