[QUOTE="bfreakb999, post: 4711251, member: 79402"] Ok, so i just picked up my PHB2 from Books-a-million. (i decided to get it now instead of waiting.. couldnt fight the urge) and i came across a feat that has me wondering about how i've been playing the game since it's release.. [I] Restful healing Benefit: After you take a short rest or an extended rest, any healing power you use before the start of your next encounter restores the maximum number of hit points possible. For example, if a 6th-level cleric with Wisdom 18 and this feat uses healing word after a rest, that power allows the target to regain hit points equal to his or her healing sure value plus 16 (the maximum result of 2d6 + 4) [/I]Ok.. maybe i'm completely confused here and never actually asked or got this question clarified but.. Have we always been able to use healing word outside of combat? I've usually tried to keep it so that only at-will abilities were able to be used outside of combat, and in the event someone wanted to use a daily or encounter outside of combat they would lose it for the next encounter. (or for the rest of the day if it had been a daily) I have to admit.. if this is the case i'm going to feel awfully dumb, and not just for myself, but for every single person i play with. We all think we do a pretty good job of maintaining the structure of the game, but i swear we all agreed at some point that using a healing spell outside of combat didnt really make sense to us with the surge mechanic and the fact that anyone had the ability to heal themselves to full. any clarification would be awesome.
