We Need a Dark Healer Class!

[Cynfael]

Just the idea "dark healer" has always made no sense to me. People on the dark side aren't really concerned with saving lives.

Of course they are; intelligent evil characters are extremely interested in keeping their allies alive. Pragmatic villains tend to be the most dangerous, after all.

Besides, as Greedalox says, dark and evil are not always the same thing, especially in modern fantasy, which tends to be a little more nuanced. We'd be much more likely to see another case of "well-intentioned characters uses dark and/or blood-themed magic for good."

On a side note, I personally I don't want to see any dark "chemist" stuff. Prefer my healers straight-up magical rather than alchemical, but obviously some players would enjoy that theme.
