zozma 06-04-07, 01:59 PM	about Heart Healing u could do like this: Heart Healing(Su): You make a Heal check with DC 10. The subject recovers 1 hit point for every point that the rolls exced 10. Stantard action and one subject cant be target of Heart Healing more than 1/2 lvls of Drive Guard. i guess u should change the Armor feat requirement to shield proeficiency, and u should give shield bash.
