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.

Guild Abilities
Touch
By simply touching a patient, you form an empathic link with them that allows you to diagnose their injuries with some precision. Several other Empath abilities (healing, shift, link) require an active diagnostic link to be in place in order to function.
Transfer/Take
Allows you to take the wounds, scars, and assorted injuries of other adventurers, transferring them onto your body.
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.
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.
Shift
Though considered a hush-hush skill by those in Elanthia, some Empaths possess the ability to alter the appearance of others permanently.
Manipulate
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.
Life Magic
Empaths have access to Life Mana and the following spellbooks: Healing, Protection, Body Purification, Mental Preparation and Life Force Manipulation.
