Discussion:Sorcerers with healing?
From D&D Wiki
[edit]
I have been wondering something. Is it possible to have a sorcerer or wizard with healing spells, I mean they get disrupt undead which does the same thing to undead as a healing spell, Due to this it think it should be possible. What do y'all think about this. I am afraid it might be overpowered.

I don't know which edition you play, but in 3.5e you can take a multiclass level of cleric, and in 4e you can take a multiclass feat in one of the various leader classes.
Classes are supposed to fulfil a particular role in a classic adventuring party, especially in 4e. Wizards are a swiss army knife, sorcerers hurt things, clerics heal. If you do make homebrew healing spells for sorcerer or wizard, they should be very limited compared to a cleric's ability to heal.
5e 'Arcane' Casters with Healing[edit]
I have found 10 'arcane' classes/subclasses on the 5e homebrew with with some amount of healing.
7 of them provide modest amounts of healing and each seems to have a reasonable internally consistent, probably balanced way of doing this:
- Aura Magister (5e Class) - facility with auras of people which may be used for healing.
- Black Mage (5e Subclass) - I guess if you have a White Mage who can heal, the Black Mage should too, just in a really icky way :)
- Bone Collector (5e Class) - facility with the bones and skeletons of people which may be used for healing.
- Quantumancer (5e Subclass) - facility with the deep foundational principles of magic, ignored by most mages who are more practical.
- Thaumaturge (5e Subclass) - playing with potions, (like healing potions).
- Tychomancer (5e Class) - a level 15 feature, not unbalanced.
- White Mage (5e Subclass) - facility with old magic forgotten by today's wizards.
3 of them provide lots of healing and one of them has been deemed unbalanced:
- Hallowed Necromancer (5e Subclass) - necromancy can also be used for healing.
- School of Panacea (5e Subclass) - transferring your own hit points to people.
- Songstress (5e Class) - deemed unbalanced
