[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7191844, member: 20564"] I'd like to offer some counterpoints: I've played with no primary healer and just a non-healing-focus bard helping to stand people up and it works because of the amount of out-of-combat self-healing in the game. You do not need a primary healer, though just like any other gap it does change how you play. Heck, I played an Out of the Abyss campaign where the only cleric cast one heal in-combat the entire campaign and used all her spell slots offensively. With the Celestial Warlock's bonus-action healing you can fulfill the roll of "stand-up healer" just fine, though range of touch is a bit limiting. Inspiring Leader on a CHR-focused character is generally considered a solid party support feat. As neogod22 wrote temp HPs don't normally stack, but I'm glad your DM decided to be creative in allowing people to play what they want and let it stack with your Celestial Resilience when there is no other primary healer. It's not overpowered in that case, and the DM can always house rule to encourage fun. He does provide a good idea with using mobile and booming blade to skirmish well, but frankly if you're just looking at doing damage EB will serve you as well without the investment. I still don't recommend spreading yourself thin and trying for front-line as well. [/QUOTE]
