Wandering healer

Post by Cabarcos » Thu Oct 27, 2022 8:01 pm

I was thinking about what could be my next char, trying to make something different to my usual ones.
I was thinking about a cleric focused on healing, the kind that will go around healing poor and needy people for free.
A good lawful good deity for that?
Maybe I will need to make him sooner than expected, so any tips?

You might tend to encounter a lot of uninjured people who you still want to provide assistance to, in which case I recommend picking some good buffing domains.

Definaltly look up The Illmatr congregation and temple in Cordor /radiant heart.

Their lore/purpose RP Style and Playstyle is very much in line for what you are describing. You'll find friends and a home in between your wandering.

Ilmater is a strong suggestion.

He isn't LG but accepts LG chars as Clerics, but Oghma could be a fun approach. A travelling (European-style) ascetic/itinerant monk (lowercase m) that uses their quest for knowledge to seek it out for themselves.

You'd have to be NG but there's also Waukeen. I actually did something similar many moons ago of basically playing an RPG merchant and setting up shop in random dungeons and locations, offering healing and blessings as well as basic adventuring gear like I was in a Final Fantasy game.

Pistis Sophia can't be worshipped (mechanically) as that's heresy most damnable, but could be a fun being to take as your [Attuned] second god.

I think Ilmater is the winner. :)
Now I'm trying to decide on a build that will suit the idea.
I've another post on the build section.
