I have been working on a spell-less healing class for a while but haven't found a name for it. I would like some name ideas(other then "Healer") for the class.
Too give you an idea of what the class is about I will give you a description. Basically a very select few have a powerful connection to the positive energy plane granting them life energy that they can spend on various abilities like channeling, lay on hands, positive energy bolts, spell effects like heal, breath of life, etc. You also get a selection of abilities called "gifts of creation" because of your connection with the positive energy plane and sometimes the other planes like the elemental ones and the first world. Some examples of these abilities would be wild empathy, animal companion, kineticist simple blast, kineticits utilities, familiar, wild shape, animal focus, self revival, heal the nonliving, strength of life, nature's pacifism, energy resistance, deathward aura, etc.
So nobody has any ideas for a name for this class?
Vessel?
Vessel?
^ good one. I was thinking "benefactor" or maybe "fount".
Conduit. Sounds like an awesome class, plz post when you're done.
Jivari? A somewhat etymologically specious Sanskritesque coinage from "jiva" meaning life and "vari" meaning (among other things), water-pot.
Samarit - it's used in Danish for somebody trained in first aid. It doesn't have the innate quality you seem to be looking for.
Glowing One
Beam
Beacon
Mender
Source (maybe too close to sorcerer, but I used it for a homebrew plane bound PrC, one variant was positive energy healer)
Lantern
- I admit a thesaurus was used but no synonyms were harmed in this post.
Since it seems common to call kineticists "benders", perhaps this new class could be called "hosers."
I'll show myself out.
So far I like the names Vessel, Mender, Jivari, Conduit, and Samarit. Though thinking about it, Jivari sounds like a good name for a planetouch race related to the positive energy plane.
I am glad every is using the naming convention of one word like the rest of the Pathfinder classes.
Keep in mind the class' powers have nothing to with religion so a character doesn't gain it's powers from a deity like a cleric. They just have a very strong connection to the positive energy plane on a level that is not fully understood.
I looked up Samarit and it says it is Swedish for the word Samaritan.

I used Medician for the name of my prestige healing class.
Medician is used in sci-fi and channeler is more spirit related though both sound interesting.
Letters. That's what's in a name. :P
I'm partial to "Vivifier", or "Vivicant". Viv- being derived from Latin for "life".
A "Vivifier" is one who vivifies(brings to life or brings vitality). Yeah that is the best one yet.
I can't find Vivicant as a actual word though.

Vivicant was made up, a portmanteau of vivify and mendicant.

"Are you a vivican or a vivican't?"
It occurs to me that if you are looking for a term for the class-specific abilities, "influence" might be a good one. From the Latin, influere, meaning to flow into. There could be "influence points" or ways to use influence as a swift action or other goodies.
Just a thought.
We already have the kineticist for being a conduit of elemental power. besides I would have to completely redo the class for that path and it would make it a completely different class all together. besides I am happy with the class as is. What is taking so long is deciding what abilities to keep for it's "gift of creation" list.
Naturalist
Naked people?
Well the class does get a monk like AC bonus but uses charisma instead of wisdom. So you could go naked if you want that is up to you.
I list several abilities from it's "gift of creation" along with some of the core abilities of the class at the top of this page.
Medic!
