[QUOTE="Sage Genesis, post: 6090151, member: 6706099"] Couple of things. 1. That's the 4e method. In my opinion it worked pretty well, but WotC must have access to some data we don't, because they seem fairly adamant against including such methods. That's what it looks like for me anyway. 2. Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you had actually read the material you would know that the houserule you propose is... well, garbage. Sorry. There are no less than 5 different Cure X Wounds spells (not counting Mass versions) and the Heal spell cures a flat 50 hp, clearly meaning it's not intended to fully cure high-level characters. It also ignores the fact that Clerics of the Lifebringer deity gain an increase in effectiveness with some of those spells which your house rule doesn't take into account. The issue has more aspects and is more complicated than you give it credit. I would strongly urge you to first read the rules and then tinker with them, not the other way around. 3. There are many people who don't like houserules. There are also people who don't want to go through the effort of needing to fix what shouldn't have been broken (in their opinions) to begin with. Suggesting that people can just houserule all problems away is overlooking this, and doesn't really address the issue. [/QUOTE]
