Hospitaler

Many priests focus their divine power on healing both the weak and the brave.

Willing Healer

A hospitaler must choose the Healing dogma or one of its subdogmas as her primary dogma. She loses both of her secondary dogmas. If the priest worships a deity, that deity must be one that grants the Healing dogma.

Channel Energy (Su)

As the priest ability, save that a hospitaler must channel positive energy, and when she does, she cannot choose to target undead. This ability is otherwise identical to the priest ability of the same name.

Vigilant Healer (Ex)

A hospitaler does not provoke attacks of opportunity when using the Heal skill to stabilize another creature or casting healing spells. In addition, she gains a bonus to Heal checks equal to half of her priest level, rounded down (minimum 1).

This ability replaces religious study.

Faithful Healing

A hospitaler gains additional uses of channel energy equal to her Wisdom modifier (minimum 0).

This is in addition to her normal 3 + Charisma modifier.

Merciful Healing (Su)

At 3rd level, a hospitaler can channel positive energy to relieve one or more harmful conditions.

The hospitaler chooses one of the following harmful conditions at 3rd level: fatigued, shaken, or sickened. When the hospitaler channels energy she can remove the chosen condition from one living creature that she heals within her channel energy burst.

At 6th level, she can choose another condition. It can be one of those she didn’t choose at 3rd level, or one of the following conditions: dazed, diseased, or staggered. She can remove the selected condition or the one she chose at 3rd level from up to two creatures within her channel energy burst.

She gains another condition at 9th level, and can choose an above condition or one of the following conditions: cursed, exhausted, frightened, nauseated, or poisoned. She can remove that condition, or a condition she previously chose, from one or two creatures within the burst.

Finally, at 12th level, she can choose a lower-level condition or one of the following conditions: deafened, paralyzed, or stunned. She can remove that condition or one she previously chose from one, two, or three creatures within her channel energy burst.

Feats and effects that affect a paladin’s mercy also affect this ability.

Great Mercy (Su)

At 8th level, when a hospitaler channels energy, she can choose to apply the benefits of merciful healing or to reroll all 1s when determining how much damage she heals. She must choose which benefit to take before she rolls.
