[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 5961424, member: 6689464"] I'm not entirely sold on healing not being tied to spell slots, I like it that way, it makes casting a healing spell a meaningfull choice. It isn't any secret I like playing dedicated healers, I don't see anything wrong with the cleric prepparing only healing spells on a given day, I actually embrace it as a play style and I don't want that choice taken away. I truly loated all of the changes that 4e brought to the healing system and how that affected dedicated healers: healing as a minor action? so it means that healing isn't important enough to justify a standard action? that is basically forcing you to attack every turn. Healing surges limiting daily healing? so it means that instead of helping the party by healing more often I'm wasting their precious surges, and that instead of helping the party fight more fights without having to rest you actually make them less durable oin the long run. Healing by inflicting damage? seriously? Causing damage is the fighter's job, I don't like having to inflict damage in order to heal my people Second wind? great, just take away the times when you should shine in combat, at most you can help them do it as a minor action (again, not important enough). Full reset every night? You just took away the dedicated healer's main goal! you no longer get to make sure your party can fully recover by the end of the day or at least finish in an overall good shape, they just sleep and poof! fully healed. So far I'm liking the playtest,(except for the full reset every night) I don't see anything wrong with cure light wounds and Healing word coexisting. In fact I truly wish it gets to be possible to eventually have both of them. [/QUOTE]
