Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
Unless they are undead, arcane spellcasters gain much more from the first one than the second. The options Arcane Inflicting grant are basically more ways of doing damage, of which at least wizards already have any number. Arcane Healing, on the other hand, lets you do things you cannot already do.
For fixed-list casters, i.e. beguilers and their ilk, I suppose this is added to their spell list and thus to the spells they can cast?

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
I only added inflicting because I like the dual options.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
I believe there is a Raise Dead version for undead in Spell Compendium. Might fit the Inflict option well.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
I used Slay Living as the Raise equivalent.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
I've noticed that as the character has to have Spell Focus before taking either of those feats, only humans can take either feat at 1st level. (Unless the campaign uses Unearthed Arcana, and the character takes a flaw to pay for the feat).
Also what about specialist wizards? Do they add another school to their opposition schools?Last edited by Southern Cross; 2010-10-05 at 07:11 PM.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
This is an ACF, not a feat. So you take Spell Focus as your feat and this.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF

I essentially made this for the Jewellcaster. Now I can have gems that heal people, gems that hurt them, and gems that shoot lightning.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
Question: If Arcane Healing/Inflicting is an Alternate Class Feature , what arcane class feature does it replace?
Second Question: Why is it limited to spontaneous casters only?President and founder of the "Jonathan Harker Was The True Hero of Dracula" Fan club.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
First: It disallows them access to a spell school each.
Second: Well, it seems less likely that a learned caster will break the 'rules', while a spontaneous might learn to heal without ever realising it's not normal.Recent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
The Vigor line would probably be useful with the Arcane Healing ACF. I'm not sure what to give the Arcane Inflicting ACF in exchange, though.
I would also allow the arcane spellcaster to add Cure Minor, Light, Moderate, Serious, Critical Wounds, Heal + Mass versions to their known spells list (which does not count towards the maximum spells known) as well as just adding Lesser Restoration, Restoration, Greater Restoration, Raise Dead, Resurrection, Regenerate and True Resurrection to their spell list. The Cure X Wounds line is not really all that useful, hence the reason to give it to them for free. After all, you are spending a feat and giving up a spell school for the ACF.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
Hmmm. I like the idea, not sure about the execution.
A Wizard drops two schools of magic and gets 1 extra known per level and 1 extra spell per level per day.
A Sorcerer drops one school of magic, takes a relatively useless feat, and they get a whole suite of healing spells (that they can use from wands or staffs without UMD).
A Beguiler can drop Evocation (losing only Dancing Lights & Sending) and gain all those Healing spells, cast spontaneously.
A Warmage can drop Enchantment (losing only Sleep) and gain all those Healing spells, cast spontaneously.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
Well, I'm already giving them quite a few strong spells...
Wizards are both stronger and more variable. Plus, they could get arcane healing by getting scrolls from a bard, couldn't they?
The Sorcerer loses way more spells than they gain. Admittedly good spells, that's why I gave a cruddy prerequisite.
Warmage I have a fix for that gives them healing, a little. I see your point though, maybe say 'they must have at least as many spells of that school on their class spell list as this feature adds to their list'?Recent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
Obviously we need a new feat : Expanded Spell List, which would give a prepared caster the ability to learn spells from another arcane caster class. It would have Scribe Scroll as a prerequisite, as well as whatever is required to actually read the spell in question, plus the character would have to take it separately for every other arcane class he (or she) could learn spells from.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
The way this is worded, these are added to their spell list, not spells known... so it's pretty much useless for sorcs, unless giving up, say, evocation, is worth getting access to a couple spells they don't really need in exchange for spells they do.

Re: Arcane Healing/Inflicting: ACF
It's just for a couple of extra options. Drop a school you weren't going to use, gain healing. Admittedly, you wouldn't get much, due to low spells known but still.
