'''Empaths''' are highly attuned to other living creatures, allowing them to heal the wounds of others. Such powers have their drawbacks, however; since Empaths are so close to the pain of the living beings around them, if they so much as try to harm another living creature they will lose their ability to heal for a time. If they kill, such ability can be lost forever.

That doesn't mean, however, that Empaths are barred from combat. Many choose the path of the Battle Empath, with defensive skills and abilities often outstripping those of the hunters they seek out to heal.

==[[:Category:Empath Abilities|Guild Abilities]]==
As they are a lore-prime guild, Empaths may choose two [[crafting]] careers and one hobby.
===[[Empath Healing|Touch]]===
By simply touching a patient, you form an empathic link with them that allows you to diagnose their injuries with some precision. Besides wound transfer, several other Empath abilities (Shift, Link) require an active diagnostic link to be in place in order to function.


Guilded Empaths receive two free technique slots in the [[Remedies discipline]] and one free technique slot in the [[Cooking discipline]] of the [[Alchemy skill]].
===[[Empath_Healing|Transfer/Take]]===
Allows you to take the wounds, scars, and assorted injuries of other adventurers, transferring them onto your body.


See: [[Crafting]]
===[[Link ability|Link]]===
More experienced Empaths can use their empathic links to others to access some of their knowledge, thereby increasing the Empath's own skills for the duration of the link.


==[[:Category:Empath Abilities|Guild Abilities]]==
===[[Perceive Health]]===
* '''[[Empath Healing|Touch]]''' - By simply touching a person, an Empath can form an empathic link with them that allows the Empath to diagnose the person's injuries with some precision. Besides wound transfer, several other Empath abilities (Shift, Link) require an active diagnostic link to be in place in order to function.
Allows the Empath to detect the presence of others in the surrounding area by sensing their life energies, including health status such as poison, disease, or low vitality. As the Empath's skill increases, life energies can be detected farther and farther away.
* '''[[Empath_Healing|Transfer/Take]]''' - Allows an Empath to take the wounds, scars, and assorted injuries of other adventurers by transferring them to the Empath's body.

** '''[[Wound Redirect|Wound Redirection]]''' - A more advanced form of taking wounds which allows the empath to change the destination of transferred wounds for five minutes.
===[[Shift ability|Shift]]===
** '''[[Empath_Healing#Wound_reduction|Wound Reduction]]''' - Allows an Empath to automatically reduce the severity of wounds they transfer to themselves by up to half.
Though considered a hush-hush skill by those in Elanthia, some Empaths possess the ability to alter the appearance of others permanently.
* '''[[Link ability|Link]]''' - More experienced Empaths can use their empathic links to others to access some of their knowledge, thereby increasing the Empath's skills for the duration of the link. This ability is taught by other Empaths and cannot be maintained in combat.

** Linking has more advanced forms such as '''[[Persistent Link]]s''', '''[[Hand_of_Hodierna|Hand of Hodierna]]''' and the '''[[Unity Link]]'''.
===[[Manipulate ability|Manipulate]]===
* '''[[Perceive Health]]''' - Allows the Empath to detect the presence of others in the surrounding area by sensing their life energies, including health status such as poison, disease, or low vitality. As the Empath's skill increases, life energies can be detected farther and farther away.
Those with sufficient skill can Manipulate a creature approaching them into believing that the Empath is a friend rather than an enemy, a powerful tool for Empaths choosing to enter battlegrounds.
** Empaths may also use their perception to check if a creature is living, [[undead]] or a [[construct]]. See the {{com|perceive}} for more information and syntax.

* '''[[Shift ability|Shift]]''' - Though considered a hush-hush skill by those in Elanthia, some Empaths possess the ability to alter the appearance of others permanently. It is considered a forbidden practice in all provinces in [[Kermoria]] except for [[Ilithi]], as of 406 AV.
===[[:Category:Life Magic|Life Magic]]===
* '''[[Manipulate ability|Manipulate]]''' - Those with sufficient skill can Manipulate a creature approaching them into believing that an Empath is a friend rather than an enemy. This is a powerful tool for Empaths choosing to enter hunting and battle areas.
Empaths have access to Life Mana and the following spellbooks: [[:Category:Healing Spellbook|Healing]], [[:Category:Protection Spellbook (Empath)|Protection]], [[:Category:Body Purification Spellbook|Body Purification]], [[:Category:Mental Preparation Spellbook|Mental Preparation]] and [[:Category:Life Force Manipulation Spellbook|Life Force Manipulation]].

[[Spell slot progressions]]


The Empath spell tree requires 55 spell slots to master. Empaths earn 76 spell slots at 150 which leaves experienced Empaths plenty of room for [[Magic Technique]]s or [[Analogous Patterns]] spells. '''All magic guilds get a free magical feat at circle 2, and Empaths get Injured Casting as theirs.'''

{{RefAl|a=y}}
There are three levels of Khalo, ranked from top to bottom:
*[[Empath new player guide]]
*[[:Category:Empath spells|Empath spells]]
*[[Empath Titles]]
{{cat|Guilds}}


==The Khalo==
*'''Khalo rae Moda''': Leader of (the) Mouth <br>
The leadership of the Empaths' Guild is collectively known as the '''Khalaen''', a [[Gamgweth]] word meaning "leaders."<br>
*'''Khalo rae Aev''': Leader of (the) Eye <br>
<br>
*'''Khalo rae Wen''': Leader of (the) Young <br>
See [[:Category:Empath Khalo|Empath Khalo]] for details about the modern structure of the guild, guild etiquette, and the current Khalaen. Detailed information about Khalaen history can be found in the book ''[[Khalo: A Student's Primer (book)|Khalo: A Student's Primer]]''.<br>

===Khalo rae Moda===
These are the heads of the guild in each province.

Currently:
*[[K'Xonei]] for Ilithi (addressed formally at all times)<br>
*[[Eksharo]] for Zoluren <br>
*[[Wyllen]] for Therengia <br>
*[[Sarhhsna]] for Qi <br>
*[[Haaltekar]] for Forfedhdar <br>

===Khalo rae Aev===
The messengers and mediators among the provinces (often retired GLs or Modien). While many Aev consist of retired Modien, not all of them are.

Their purpose is primarily to serve as observers; therefore, not many Empaths have occasion to meet many of them. There are a lot more Aev than then the average Empath is aware of.

To name a few: [[Edenlaen]], [[Atladene]], [[Mirinn]] (Martyr).

In terms of guildhall and guildmember policies, etc, the Wen and the Moda are more directly involved than the Aev. The Aev serve as mediators among and between the different levels of Khalo, as well as governmental and provincial diplomats. Once a Moda is established in his or her province, s/he rarely leaves it, so the Aev are crucial to the inter-province communication between the Modien because they can be entrusted with sensitive guild-only information.


{{RefAl|a=y}}
===Khalo rae Wen===
*[[Empath 3.0]]
The Guildleaders, as listed [[Empath#Guild Hall Locations|above]].

Empath Guild
Empath

Image copyright of Simutronics Corporation

Primary Skillset: Lore
Secondary Skillsets: Magic, Survival
Tertiary Skillsets: Weapon, Armor
Special Abilities: Heal, Shift, Link,
Manipulate
Mana Type: Life
Barbarian - Bard - Cleric - Commoner - Empath - Moon Mage

Necromancer - Paladin - Ranger - Thief - Trader - Warrior Mage

Empaths are highly attuned to other living creatures, allowing them to heal the wounds of others. Such powers have their drawbacks, however; since Empaths are so close to the pain of living beings around them, if they so much as try to harm another living creature they will lose their ability to heal for a time. If they kill, such ability can be lost forever.

This does not mean that Empaths are barred from combat. Many choose the path of the Battle Empath, with defensive skills and abilities often outstripping those of the adventurers they seek to heal.

See: Crafting

Guild Abilities

  • Touch - By simply touching a person, an Empath can form an empathic link with them that allows the Empath to diagnose the person's injuries with some precision. Besides wound transfer, several other Empath abilities (Shift, Link) require an active diagnostic link to be in place in order to function.
  • Transfer/Take - Allows an Empath to take the wounds, scars, and assorted injuries of other adventurers by transferring them to the Empath's body.
    • Wound Redirection - A more advanced form of taking wounds which allows the empath to change the destination of transferred wounds for five minutes.
    • Wound Reduction - Allows an Empath to automatically reduce the severity of wounds they transfer to themselves by up to half.
  • Link - More experienced Empaths can use their empathic links to others to access some of their knowledge, thereby increasing the Empath's skills for the duration of the link. This ability is taught by other Empaths and cannot be maintained in combat.
  • Perceive Health - Allows the Empath to detect the presence of others in the surrounding area by sensing their life energies, including health status such as poison, disease, or low vitality. As the Empath's skill increases, life energies can be detected farther and farther away.
    • Empaths may also use their perception to check if a creature is living, undead or a construct. See the PERCEIVE for more information and syntax.
  • Shift - Though considered a hush-hush skill by those in Elanthia, some Empaths possess the ability to alter the appearance of others permanently. It is considered a forbidden practice in all provinces in Kermoria except for Ilithi, as of 406 AV.
  • Manipulate - Those with sufficient skill can Manipulate a creature approaching them into believing that an Empath is a friend rather than an enemy. This is a powerful tool for Empaths choosing to enter hunting and battle areas.

Empaths have access to Life Mana and the following spellbooks: Healing, Protection, Body Purification, Mental Preparation and Life Force Manipulation.

Spell Slots

Spell slot progressions

The Empath spell tree requires 55 spell slots to master. Empaths earn 76 spell slots at 150 which leaves experienced Empaths plenty of room for Magic Techniques or Analogous Patterns spells. All magic guilds get a free magical feat at circle 2, and Empaths get Injured Casting as theirs.
