Just like my revised Witch, I've now created a Revised Oracle. There were not quite as many things I disagreed with on this one, but I still made some significant changes.

First, the Minor Curse is now a constant effect that the Oracle suffers just for being an Oracle. This is how it was back in 1e, and I've continued it here. I modified the Mysteries a bit. I've also changed most of the curse effects so they are not quite as deadly for the Oracle, but rather a serious inconvenience. This is just version 1.0, so I may make more changes based on feedback (for instance, I haven't gone through the feats with a fine-toothed comb yet).

"Advancing the Curse" is now optional. Oracles can now get and spend Focus points normally. This is so that if another class multiclasses into Oracle, or the Oracle multiclasses with another class, they can get and use focus spells normally. Advancing the Curse is only a choice when casting a Revelation spell, no other focus spells. It allows the Oracle to go beyond the 3 point Focus pool limit. (I did something similar with the Witch's Patron Knowledge and Patron's Secret feats) When casting a Revelation Spell, the Oracle can choose to Advance the Curse rather than spend a focus point. (This could be because he is out of focus points, or he just wants to get the benefits of a higher curse).

A new version of the revised Oracle has been posted. It is nearly identical to the previous version, except I clarified how Refocus works, and added 2 Feat options. One to temporarily suspend the negative effects of the curse for 1 minutes by spending a Focus point, and one to spread the effects of your Minor Curse to another target with a touch. If the target is unwilling, they get a Will save.
