Such as CLW modified with this feat would grant 1d8+3. That’s not bad and in fact very useful. But what about a CCW at 7th level (minimum), it would be at 4d8+15. Though this doesn’t really sound bad at all (even to me) it does cause a cure spell of a lower level to be as effective as a cure spell one level higher.Using a 7th level Cleric we have:(With the Augment Healing feat)CCW 4d8+15 for an average of 33 pointsCSW 3d8+13 for an average of 26.5 pointsCMW 2d8+11 for an average of 20 pointsCLW 1d8+7 for an average of 11.5 points(Without the Augment Healing feat)CCW 4d8+7 for an average of 25 pointsCSW 3d8+7 for an average of 20.5 pointsCMW 2d8+7 for an average of 16 pointsCLW 1d8+5 for an average of 9.5 pointsWith an augmented CMW it heals ½ point less than an un-augmented CsW. This would mean with the AH feat you could cast a 2nd level spell that would does nearly as much as that of a 3rd level spell. That does seem a bit much to me.Maxed out caster level wise a CMW spell at 10th level would heal 2d8+14 points, or an average of 23 points. A un-augmented CSW does 3d8+10, or an average of 23.5 points which is .5 over that of an augmented spell one level lower. This still seems a bit much.What about at 20th level?(With the Augment Healing feat)CCW 4d8+28 for an average of 46 pointsCSW 3d8+21 for an average of 34.5 pointsCMW 2d8+14 for an average of 23 pointsCLW 1d8+7 for an average of 11.5 points(Without the Augment Healing feat)CCW 4d8+20 for an average of 38 pointsCSW 3d8+15 for an average of 28.5 pointsCMW 2d8+10 for an average of 19 pointsCLW 1d8+5 for an average of 9.5 pointsAt 20th level the benefits begin to spread out and the AH feat basically just raises your average points healed rather than make the spell effectively one level higher. But that doesn’t happen until much higher levels than what the campaign is currently at.So my question is does this make the feat a bit unbalancing? Does being able to cast a spell as if it were one level lower make it unbalanced? And does the fact that it is a healing spell make these benefits less enough that balance is unaffected?</blockquote>
