Final Fantasy Style White Mage Conversion or other non-divine healing class

[Christopher Tomas]

I am very interested in a d20/pathfinder style conversion of a white mage. I am looking for something with the flavor and meat of a white mage. Any suggestion is welcome. I know there are some d20 conversions for Final Fantasy out there. I am interested in being pointed toward those and in hearing new ideas.

Any direction would be useful.

It sounds like you need a Druid archetype, or a Cleric base with a selection of Druid spells smattered in to handle the Wind portion.

The closest you'll get to Esuna/Basuna and whatnot exist on both lists. Both lists have the requisite buff spells. Both have Divine damage sources (Flamestrike, in particular, which will be the closest you get to the Holy damage category). Clerics handle the Res portion of things, as well.

Perhaps you can connive your GM into doing the "I'm a cleric, but I use a spell book instead of prayer" thing.

Last alternative: wait until my gaming group releases our game, which is nearly to release. It will be free, and you will have your White Mage. It will simply not be d20.

Curious, what makes you think the White Mage in FF isn't Divine? From FF1 on, including Tactics, it has a holy and religious theme.

Anyway, go ahead, I was just wondering why people assume this so often.

My forst idea for a non-Divine healer is the base Bard. Maybe the Witch. If you want to ignor the religion aspect of "Divine caster", Oracle works just fine. If you want a blend of healing and power, maybe a Mystic Theurge build (Oracle or Cleric/Sorcerer).

Miniatures Handbook Healer class, using the Spontaneous Divine Caster variant rule from Unearth Arcana.
