Seraph Class (Psionic Healer Archetype)

Archetype

Healer / Support (Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Restoration)

Core Concept

Seraphs are psionic specialists who manipulate the mental and emotional states of others, restore physical and psychic health, and defend against mind-affecting threats. Their techniques draw on empathy, discipline, and deep understanding of consciousness—whether applied with compassion, pragmatism, or clinical detachment is up to the individual Seraph. They are not bound to any creed or deity, but serve as guardians, medics, or manipulators of the psyche depending on their own philosophy and goals.
