Divine empowerment trainer?

[Your Third Worst Nightmare]

(In chapter 2.) My monk has now graduated to embalmer... er... I mean inhumer... no, sorry, excisor... well, anyway, you get the idea. :-)

Trouble is, she still heals like a monk (5 divine empowerment). Which is a problem, since she is supposed to be my best healer. But although I seem to have found trainers for every other skill I know about (aside from marksmanship... and my samurai is confused about that as well!) I haven’t found one for this rather important skill. And since I am about to enter the rift for my first time ever, no idea what to expect, on ‘Sparta’, I would feel a lot more comfortable with all the healing power I can dredge up...

Divine empowerment is gifted by the gods, not by trainers. When you choose between exorcist and priest, you choose between being an expert undead slayer or an expert healer. So your choice was made. She may still be your best healer, but you made a clear trade-off earlier.

The skill detail from the steam guide:

DIVINE EMPOWERMENT - the deities that provide the source of healing powers favour more devote followers.  Monks don't rate as highly as clerics, and priest are the absolute favourites.  Druids don't rank at all in this form.  While not a skill in a sense that you can train it, your rank still has a similar effect than magic lore has on spell output: the more the deity appreciates your devotion, the more effective your healing efforts will be.  The righteousness birth feat increases this by 10 even for the more unusual classes.

But what you CAN do, is have her wear as many SACRED items as you can find. those stack healing improvements. Works exactly the same way as divine empowerment does, but does not show on the divine empowerment skill screen as I want to keep it separate. But if that is the effect you want then sacred items are what you need. This effect (like DE) improves: heal, restoration, healing aura, healing hands.

But wait for item hunting until you are past the rift, because ... things get complicated. Make a backup through the save/load menu before you go there.

Just as a note (and obviously it's been rather a while since I visited this conversation) it seems like bad game design to have a skill 'potential' that is different from your skill, but not to be able to raise that skill. It just becomes a meaningless number.

If you wanted a healer should have went priest, not exorcist. Exorcist has lower divine empowerent than priest because they are more of a melee class who can do minor healing.

I understand that. My entire point is to say 'Your divine empowerment is 5, with a potential of 20' or whatever has no meaning whatsoever.
