Blood touch : As a standard action the Anatomist heals or deals damage as he sees fit equal to 1d6 every other odd level a number of times per day equal to ½ level+ the Anatomist Wis modifier, Will save negates DC= 10 + Wis + ½ Anatomist level, To Blood touch the Anatomist must touch the person.
Anatomist: The Anatomist adds her Wisdom modifier on Knowledge skill checks in addition to her Intelligence modifier, when making skill checks to identify the abilities and weaknesses of creatures.
Medic: The Anatomist adds half their Anatomist level as a bonus to Heal, Knowledge (Nature), and Slight of hand checks.
Poison Use: The Anatomist is trained in the use of poison and starting at 3rd level, cannot accidentally poison themselves when applying poison to a weapon.
Devine Health: At 7thlevel, an Anatomist is immune to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.
Exploit Weakness: At 11th level, the Anatomist learns to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Whenever the Anatomist scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have. In addition, if the target has regeneration , the creature loses regeneration on the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round (if the creature’s regeneration can be bypassed). Finally, if the Anatomist deals energy damage to a creature with vulnerability to that energy type, he deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.
Timeless Body: At 15th level, An Anatomist no longer takes penalties to his ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that he has already taken, however, remain in place. Age bonuses still accrue, and the Anatomist still dies of old age when his time is up.
Deadly touch: Starting at 20th level, An Anatomist can set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if the Anatomist so desires. He can use this Deadly touch attack once per day, and he must announce his intent before making his attack roll. Creatures immune to critical hits cannot be affected. Otherwise, if the Anatomist strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the Deadly channeling attack succeeds. Thereafter, the Anatomist can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within a number of days equal to his Anatomist level. To make such an attempt, the Anatomist merely wills the target to die (a free action), and unless the target makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the monk's level + the Anatomist’s Wis modifier), it dies. If the saving throw is successful, the target is no longer in danger from that particular Deadly touch attack, but it may still be affected by another one at a later time. An Anatomist can have no more than 1 Deadly touch in effect at one time. If an Anatomist uses Deadly touch while another is still in effect, the previous effect is negated. There is one other option this ability has and that is to resurrect a person who has been dead no longer than 20 day’s (I.e. as many days as the Anatomist has levels.)
Healing Power:
Resist Poison +2, The Anatomist gains a resistance to poison saving throws equal to +2, this ability may be taken up to three times. The Anatomist must be 4th level to take this power.
Poison Immunity, The Anatomist becomes immune to all forms of Poison. The Anatomist must be 12th level to take this power and he must poses the Resist Poison Healing Power.
Fast Healing +1, The Anatomist gains the ability to heal damage as it comes to him, this ability may be taken up to three times. The Anatomist must be 6th level to take this power.
Die Hard, The Anatomist gains the Die hard feat without needing to meet the prerequisites.
Remove Disease, The Anatomist may cure diseases when he uses one of his channel energy uses as the remove disease spell.
Lame, When the Anatomist attempts a channel energy attack against a foe he can injure one of his enemy’s limbs, as part of the blood touchattack the Anatomist may choose to harm a leg or arm, when he does this the foe makes an additional save to resist the damage to his limb. The foe makes a fortitude save dc= 10+½ the anatomist level+ wis modifier, if the save fails he loses either the use of one of his arms (usually his primary arm) or one of his legs resulting in the foe to move at half speed, this ability functions for a number of rounds equal to 3+ the anatomist wis modifier. On a successful save the foe still takes the blood touch damage but still retains use of his limbs.
Raise Dead, The Anatomist has learned how to bring those that were dead back to life, by using one of his uses of Channel energy the Anatomist restarts the heart and flow of blood to a corps, this ability functions as the raise dead spell. The Anatomist must be 18th level to take this power.
Triage, The Anatomist can sense the life force of those around him and can tell how close to death they are, this ability functions as the deathwatch spell.
Regeneration, The Anatomist learns how to control his body so well he can even force it to heal parts of his body that were once lost, the Anatomist can reattach lost limbs and even regrow them. The Anatomist must use one of his Blood Touch uses to use this power. The Anatomist must be 14th level to take this power.
Bleed Touch: When the Anatomist uses his Blood Touch ability the subject to the damage takes bleed damage equal to the number of dice of the Blood Touch.
Improved Contort:, The Anatomist can stretch his limbs to gain a reach bonus of +5ft.
Contort: The Anatomist gains a bonus to Acrobatics and Escape Artist equal to half his level, he can also move through passages and open spaces one size smaller than him without penalty.
the biggest things i need help with is an opinion on the power of the class and the fact that i need like 10 more healing powers
You might want to clean up some of the spelling and grammar errors; it makes it a little hard to understand what you mean.
One healing power I thought of was a "lesser vampiric touch" ability that heals 1 hit point per die of damage of the Blood Touch ability.
Maybe with a full-powered vampiric touch ability later on (6th or 8th level).
Maybe cause ability damage equal to 1 per Blood Touch damage die, again with improvements that act vampiric touchy.
You also might want to incorporate status effects, like sickened, fatigued, nauseated, and exhausted. Maybe dazzled, blind, deaf, maybe staggered, dazed, stunned, paralyzed?
Maybe swift or immediate actions that grant temporary hit points for 1 round? Kind of a limited use, multi-purpose damage reduction and energy resistance replacement.
Maybe a way to give energy vulnerability to a target, while possibly gaining energy resistance yourself?
Maybe a way to graft different body parts on you, or replace body parts with others? Kind of like a self-Frankenstein thing.

thanks, i think i can work with those
could you maybe point out my spelling and grammar errors?
Adrenaline Rush: the Anatomist gains a number of temporary hit points as a standard action equal to half their Anatomist level plus their Con modifier, if the Anatomist doesn’t take any damage these temporary hit points go away at the end of their next turn.
Pressure points Attack: The Anatomist can give up one of their Blood Touch damage dice for an additional effect that last for a number of rounds equal to the number of dice given up. These effects are deaf, blind, mute, stunned.
Improved Pressure Points: this ability functions as per the Pressure Points Attack healing power but the Anatomist gains access to new effects. These effects are nauseated, fatigued, dazed. This power requires the Pressure Points Attack healing power.
how do these work?
im not sure what level to set these powers at so any input on what level these should be would be appreciated.
any thoughts?
as far as the blood touch ability it is a su ability and it already has a limited number of uses, it can be used a number of times per day equal to half their Anatomist level plus their Wis modifier. minimum 1per day.
it is also counted as a touch attack
one more thing to note is that the weapon selection isn't finished so any ideas for a few more weapons would be nice.
for me Exploit weakness represents an element in the class as being even better against their foes with a critical hit, it makes perfect sense to me.
any other thoughts would be appreciated.
i agree with you on the damage/healing descriptor on blood touch and i will change it to count as positive/negative energy damage.
i think i prefer my set up for times per day but thank you for your ideas.
any other ideas/comments or help would be appreciated also any ideas for some more healing powers would help a bunch.
i have made the decision to have the Anatomist Blood Touch ability to count as precision damage
I'm going to play test the class tomorrow, hopefully it turns out well, if anyone has any ides or comments i would still appreciate them.
