| ** Casting {{SAI|Restore Vitality}} doesn't consume spell slots, but it counts as a level 3 spell for {{SAI|Disciple of Life}}.

| * Has access of all face character abilities including {{SAI|Speak with Animals}}, {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}, and {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}}.
| |

| === Core items ===
| |
| * {{RarityItem|Phalar Aluve}}: This weapon will be used for its {{SAI|Phalar Aluve: Sing}} ability rather than the {{SAI|Phalar Aluve: Shriek|Shriek}} ability it is known for. This grants all nearby allies in {{radius|m=6|ft=20}} an effect equivalent to {{Cond|Bless}} but also stacks with it. Conveniently, Phalar Aluve is also a [[finesse]] weapon (very unusual for its weapon class).
| |
| * {{RarityItem|The Whispering Promise}}: This item will grant {{Cond|Bless}} for {{duration|2}} on heal. This is key to boost the utility of {{SAI|Restore Vitality}}. This gives a non-concentration source of this potent effect that also stacks with Phalar Aluve's equivalent effect.
| |
| * {{RarityItem|Hellrider's Pride}}: This will grant {{Cond|Blade Ward}} for {{duration|2}} on heal which further boosts the utility of each heal. These will be upgraded to {{RarityItem|The Reviving Hands}} in Act III.
| |
| * {{RarityItem|Wapira's Crown}}: This will heal you {{DamageText|1d6|Healing}} whenever you cast a healing spell. Once the build is online, that will be twice per turn. It also works as a replacement for {{SAI|Blessed Healer}}. Note that it doesn't actually grant {{Cond|Bless}} from The Whispering Promise.
| |
| * {{RarityItem|Boots of Aid and Comfort}}: This will apply {{temp hp|3}} on every heal. Due to the way temporary hit points work, this may actually be detrimental. (It could prevent a better source of temporary HP from applying).
| |
|
| |
| === Rejected items ===
| |
| * {{RarityItem|Staff of Arcane Blessing}}: The bonus to the {{Cond|Bless}} effect does apply with The Whispering Promise.
