[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5069822, member: 2011"] I'm DMing two groups. It is used in one and not in the other. I think it is very potent and I am not even recommending it to the Cleric in my second group because she already does a ton of healing which makes encounters less challenging. To me, it's not Astral Seal per se, it's the plethora of healing options in Divine Power (including Healer's Mercy) that add up to having a healbot in the group that can for the most part prevent PCs from going unconscious, let alone dead. Astral Seal is just one aspect of that and a strong one at that. The Cleric can do 8 damage and give +2 power bonus to hit to one ally PC against that target with Lance of Faith, or the Cleric can do 8 (or typically more) healing and give +2 bonus (untyped) to hit to everyone including the Cleric next round against that target with Astral Seal. It's really potent. Definitely a lot more than Lance of Faith. [/QUOTE]
