Please note that I am looking for people who have actually used this spell or seen it used in play. I don't need help theorycrafting, I can do that just fine on my own.
So, I'm in a group which is... ah... short on healers. And by "short," I mean, "we don't have any."
I'm thinking about picking up life transference for my 8th-level wizard as a "poor man's cleric" option. I have a 16 Con and am pretty good at staying out of melee, so I usually have the hit points to spare.
Has anyone tried using life transference this way? How well has it worked for you? I definitely want to get some healing capacity in the party, but I'd rather not burn one of my two free spell picks on a spell that sits in my spellbook and never gets cast.
