[LotFP] Holy Guardian class

I am playing an J-RPG style game with my Android phone called Inotia 3. It is actually really good and well done rpg if you do like J-RPGs. But as a J-RPG it is not an RPG compared to P&P games. You basically follow the plot, cannot choose what you say or do. You gain experience to upgrade already known skills or buy new skills. And you hassle with equipment. But I enjoy it a lot.

And it's free from App store! Here.


Anyways my main character is a Templar. One of his powers is healing. When used he heals the character in party with lowest health points left. And this is an inspiration for new Lamentations of the Flame Princess character class.

Holy Guardian

Holy Guardians are fighters who have devoted their life to protect others in the name of their God. Their mission is not to slay the evil but protect others doing it.

Holy Guardians must sacrifice 10% of experience gained for their God who provides their power. Whenever experience is gained Holy Guardian gains 10% less than normally would.

Experience points level progress: Same as Fighters
Hit points progress: Same as Fighters
Saving throws progress: Same as Clerics
Special progress:

• Every 5th level (1, 6, 11, 16) gain +1 to AC.
• Healing surge. Once per combat Holy Guardian can use his turn for a healing surge. Healing surge heals the character of lowest current HP based on Holy Guardian's level. Even if Holy Guardian has lowest HP left healing surge doesn't heal him but the character with second lowest HP left.

Level 1 - 1d4

Level 2 - 1d4

Level 3 - 1d6

Level 4 - 1d6

Level 5 - 1d8

Level 6 - 1d8

Level 7 - 1d10

Level 8 - 1d10

Level 9 - 1d12

Level 10 - 1d12

Level 11 - 1d12 + 1d4

Level 12 - 1d12 + 1d4

Level 13 - 1d12 + 1d6

Level 14 - 1d12 + 1d6

Level 15 - 1d12 + 1d8

Level 16 - 1d12 + 1d8

Level 17 - 1d12 + 1d10

Level 18 - 1d12 + 1d10

Level 19 - 1d12 + 1d12

Level 20 - 1d12 + 1d12

House Rule

• If you use exploding dice (roll the highest score again for example in damage) you can use rule of exploding dice also in healing surge.
• If healing surge roll is 1 from any of the dice rolled healing surge doesn't work but instead deals damage to Holy Guardian himself. Roll that die again.

Example: Holy Guardian level 14 decides to use healing surge. Other characters in party are Elf and a Magic-User. Elf has 15 hit points left, Magic-User has 18 left and Holy Guardian has 25 left. Healing surge will heal Elf who has the lowest HP.

Holy Guardian's player rolls 1d12 + 1d6 and gets scores 1 and 5. Elf will gain 5 HP from the d6 but as the d12 score was 1 Holy Guardian's player rolls d12 again for new result of 7 what is the amount of damage he suffers.

Next round the hit points of the party are:

Elf 20, M-U 18, Holy Guardian 18.
