    Hear Ye, Hear Ye...

   By the authority vest in my by the Queen of the Realm, I now proclaim
birth of a new class.  Gather roun' and listen, as I relate the form and
function of the said class....

 Ok... I'm finished with the psuedo-harker.... Here is the class I said I
would send... It could probably use some more work, so if you have any
suggestions, let me know, and I will stare at them for awhile, before
throwing them out.... nah... I might just consider some of them, if they
real suggestions, not just flames....

 Ok.. enough of an intro... here it is.....

                                TYPE OF ATTACKS

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 THE HEALER STUDIES THE BODIES OF ALL LIVING THINGS, FINDING THE WAYS OF
 HEALING WITHIN THEM.  THE NERVOUS SYSTEMS, THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS, THE
 GLANDS, AND ORGANS AND TISSUES OF THE BODIES.  A HEALER THEN APPLIES
 THIS KNOWLEDGE TO SET BONES, CURE AILMENTS, DISEASES, WOUNDS, POISONS,
 AND OTHER MALADIES.

      **HEALERS MAY NEVER STRIKE THE FIRST BLOW IN A CONFRONTATION. (i.e.
             THEY PERSONALLY MUST BE HIT BEFORE THEY CAN ATTACK.)**
 _____________________________________________________________________________
 _____________________________________________________________________________

      THE HEALER CLASS GAINS EXPERIENCE ONLY THROUGH HEALING OTHERS,EXCEPT
 FOR THE ANTI-, OR EVIL, VARIETY OF THIS CLASS. THE AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE
 GAINED IS DETERMINED BY A RANDOM ROLL ON THE TABLE OF DICE FOR THIS
 CLASS ONLY, THOUGH IF THE DUNGEON MASTER FEELS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL ACT
 CARRIED OUT TO PERFORM THE HEALING IN QUESTION IS OF GREAT DIFFICULTY,
 IMPORTANCE TO THE PARTY OR TO A PERSON OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE DUNGEON
 HE MAY GRANT MORE POINTS.
      THE EVIL HALF OF THIS CLASS MAY ONLY GAIN EXPERIENCE THROUGH DOING
 DAMAGE TO OTHERS.
      ALL HEALERS MUST BE OF LAWFUL GOOD ALIGNMENT UNTIL THEY
 REACH SIXTH LEVEL AS A HEALER, THEN AT THIS POINT THEY MAY HAVE THEIR
 ALIGNMENT CHANGED TO LAWFUL EVIL ONLY,IF THEY CHOOSE, AND  BECOME AN
 ANTI-HEALER.
     THIS CLASS IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST HONORABLE CLASSES IN
 EXISTENCE, THEREFORE IF THE DUNGEON MASTER FEELS THAT THE PLAYER IS PLAYING
 THE CLASS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AT ANY TIME DURING THE PLAY OF THE GAME, HE MAY
 STRIP A CHARACTER OF THIS CLASS AND RETURN HIM TO THE SPLIT CLASS
 RANGER/CLERIC AT THE LEVEL OF HIS PRESENT EXPERIENCE UPON ENTERING THE
 HEALER CLASS, AND NONE OF THE  ACCUMULATED EXPERIENCE SINCE BECOMING A
 HEALER. A HEALER MAY NEVER RENTER THE CLASS AFTER BEING EJECTED FROM IT.
     A HEALER MAY NEVER STRIKE UNTIL PERSONALLY STRUCK. A HEALER WILL AT ALL
 TIMES ATTEMPT TO AVOID BEING HIT, WHILE TRYING AT HIS GREATEST ABILITY TO
 PREVENT ANY CONFRONTATION UNLESS IT IS A MATTER OF HONOR OR LAW THAT IS THE
 CAUSE.
