Variant Domain PowersDescription Source: Haunted Heroes Handbook

UrgathoaSource Haunted Heroes Handbook pg. 9
Associated Domain(s): Death
A risen spirit is akin to a plant that must be tended. Such are the teachings of Urgathoa, the goddess who is believed to be the first undead creature. Unlike many of her deific counterparts, Urgathoa champions the shepherding and protection of haunts and possessing spirits, even to the danger and detriment of her own followers. The faithful of the Pallid Princess believe that by prolonging the torment and tortured existence of a spirit, they create something akin to a beautiful piece of artwork. In a similar manner, servants of Urgathoa view the possession of a mortal body by a deceased spirit as a blessing.
Necrotic Tending (Sp): You can touch an undead creature or area affected by a haunt as a standard action, restoring 1d8 hit points + 1 for every 2 cleric levels you have. This ability has no effect on other creatures. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
This replaces the bleeding touch domain power of the Death domain.
