[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6555128, member: 7635"] Why doesn't the Acolyte have Channel Divinity? Because he's not a PC. Why does the Gladiator have Brutal as a trait? Because he's not a PC. See how this works? Your PCs are going to interact with the halfling with a dragonmark two ways: the first is via service ("the halfling uses his mark, you are healed 12 hp") In this scenario, it doesn't matter if the NPC has 1 HD or 100, is CR 0 or 30, or has 1 hit point of 1 million. He's an NPC providing a certain service. Done. The other is if the PCs opt to get into combat with said halfling. At that point, all that matters is that "he's a non-combatant healer, with little more than some knowledge and a magic mark" that the PCs will kill probably in one round. Now, if your PCs comment that "the halfling healer they killed only had 4 hit points and that at minimum, he should have 18 since he should have 4 HD to be equal with a fourth level PC and get a feat", you have a bigger problem than the dragonmark rules. In essence: any group that can't accept a non-combatant halfling with the mark of healing might be less than equal to a fourth level PC is a group I don't want anything to do with. [/QUOTE]
