Healer of Revenge (5e Class)

Healer of Revenge

Healers are generally calm and gentle individuals, who turn to the healing arts due to their kindness and care for others wellbeing .There are some, however, who become healers to give those wounded and harmed the power to seek retribution. Healers of Revenge are seekers of gods of anger or punitive justice, and become mortal reflections of those beings, agents of their will and aspects of their godly might.

These healers cure the harmed not for gentleness or kindness necessarily, but to give them the tools to seek justice - or vengeance - by themselves.

Shared Pain

One of the most notable powers shared by those healers is the ability to cure a wound, while returning the harm caused back to the aggressor, in the purest act of divine vengeance. This ability forces those who attack and prey on others to endure all the suffering they cause on their own flesh, and those who survive an encounter with a Healer of Revenge are confronted with the vileness of their actions, and forced to either change their ways, or keep facing the consequences of all the brutality they engage in.

Creating a Healer of Revenge

When creating a Healer of Revenge, you can ask yourself a few questions to help you into guiding your writing of the background: Why is your character in the path of vengeance? Was he wronged, or does he seeks to seek retribution for the harm caused to another person? Does your character received the power of healing through a deity of justice or revenge, or from another vengeful and powerful entity? What does your character seek in the world, for what he uses this power? Does he wants to empower others to seek retribution, or is him on a selfish quest for revenge, using his healing powers to keep himself alive until it accomplishes his goal?

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain your uses after completing a short or a long rest.

Mournful Anger
