Alternative Healing: Anything more interesting than Clr/Dru?

[Anklebite]

I guess we can't forget to mention the ol' black sand trick. for an undead or tomb-tainted party, being in contact with black sand is fast healing 1d6.  pour it in your underwear, and dump it in your shoes.

This can be hilarious if you're healed by negative energy.  Just spread some out on the ground whenever you want to sleep and heal (magical darkness makes it even more restful).  Always funny.

yeah.

CharOp: optimizing sand in the vagoo.

heh, a necropolitan could use surgery to implant himself with black sand, couldn't he? 

[Akalsaris]

That's a lot...
In Core, Summon Nature's Ally IV nets Unicorn, with 3 CLWs and 1 CMW/day.
Lesser Planar Ally nets a Bralani Eladrin, er, Azata, whatever.
When you get Plane Shift, two uses takes everyone to full HP.

Poison Healer isn't mentioning Trouserfang Dwarves. :/

Great, so Endaire gets the Hood, and I get Dick Trouserfang.  There's no justice in this world  

I'm still thrilled that somebody actually mentioned a build I made (though in all fairness it was derived from somebody else's original idea)

By the way, it hasn't been mentioned and nobody ever will if I don't, but you could also play a Healer.  It...can heal.

OK, but seriously, I'd go for the crusader or the healificer personally.

Have your party composed of lesser mechanatrixes, and get a DFA or someone with lightning gauntlets or some other way to throw a ton of electricity at them.

Have someone take the spellfire feat, and feed them your excess spell slots at the end of the day.

Doesn't Spellfire work on SLAs? If so, Warlock.

Yes it does.

Or get a half-fey template (use transition class and racial savage progression trickery to get it to cost only +1 LA), and fuel with the charm person at will SLA.

Not that I'd recommend it, but you could take Domain Access as a Sorcerer at 5th level and choose the Healing Domain.

Also, there's the Dragon Shaman that has an aura that does some healing.

A player in one of my games played a Monk with Martial Spirit.  Lots of 2 point healing with their flurry of blows ability.

During a very short campaign (had a player meltdown) I was playing a tomb tainted DN and the cleric decided to heal me after battle. 
I said "OW!"
Cleric: "What's wrong?"
DN: "I'm allergic!"
The Cleric proceeds to try healing me again...

[Endarire]

People keep missing the first r in Endarire.  Why?

Props on the Trouserfang Dwarf!

[Solo]

Pffft. Trouserfang.

Fistbeard Beardfist.

[Surreal]

A slap happy crusader with martial spirit can do wonders if your DM allows it to heal outside of battle.

Also, there's the Dragon Shaman that has an aura that does some healing.

The also have a nifty healing pool that's based off charisma. It's also a relatively unique ability in that it lets you cure most negative conditions as well.

3rd Level Spell Healing Touch from Spell Compendium.

Specifically a Reach Split Ray Chained Healing Touch to heal everyone in your party twice, and the damage you inflict on yourself is healed and then some.

You didn't fail all your will saves, did you?

[NiteCyper]

Mystic something PrC at level 10 grants Fast Healing 2 aura.

Some feat (from DrM?) that allows you to spontaneously cast Cure and Heal spells like a Cleric.

No I did not, but seeing as I was a level 2 character I didn't have great Will Saves.  Though the 'I'm Allergic' bit had everyone laughing for a good 10 minutes.

Magic Jar + Divine Companion (CChamp ACF that replaces a familiar) can let you heal your allies 1d6 per spell level sacrificed. If you're already using Magic Jar and are a sorcerer, this is not a big leap to achieve. This might get interesting if we can figure out a way to gain a spell-like ability at will to fuel the Divine Companion with.

1-level dip in Warlock?  See the Unseen is a good invocation even at higher levels and doesn't care about caster level.  Fuel the 1d6 healing with your 1d6 Eldritch Blast if you like.

Or the Half-Fey template, which is good for a Sorcerer anyway.

[Solo]

Where is the half fey template, and what does it do?

[snakeman830]

Where is the half fey template, and what does it do?

It's in the Fiend Folio and among other spell-likes that it gets as it advances in level (much like a half-fiend), it gets wings with Good manuverability (2* base land speed), low-light vision, DR5/Cold iron, immunity to Enchantment spells & effects, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Wis, +4 Cha, and Charm Person at will.  Oh, and it changes type to Fey if that matters.

It's an awesome template.

Yeah, it is. For the game I'm playing the sorcerer with Magic Jar in, TML is already one of those, though, and my race is pretty much fixed, too.
