Not strictly true......my Dragon Shaman's aura of Vigor will give everyone Fast Healing when they're down to half HP or less. It just won't heal them to more than half HP +1. I just won't have any instant-healing until 7th-level (aside from my couple of purchased potions).
That I did not know Learn something new every day! (I still need to review the Dragon Shaman class before game starts)
BTW Dragon Shaman has just stepped up a notch or two on my 'Awesome Class Abilities' list.
Although the Vigor aura will take some stress off between combat situations, I doubt that (i am assuming 1 tic fast healing) will be enough for in combat. Still though, it will definately make the game interesting, and will take the edge off the healing necessity
Thanks for the update Ark.
