[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 7980621, member: 18"] Obviously, it's your game, but the RAW is real clear. So long as at least one creature that isn't you gets healed by the spell, you get Blessed Healer. Doesn't matter if you're also healed or not, because that's entirely outside the scope of the RAW. I daresay the RAI is in line with the RAW, or we'd have seen a clarification from Crawford by now. As for "opinions being varied", well, yes sad to say but a lot of people are simply wrong in their understanding of a lot of rules and yet very confident about it, or just think anything that sounds good needs to be "nerfed" (except stuff that applies to their own PC, of course). I'm sure I've been one of them at times. But looking at the actual RAW resolves 95% of confusion re: rules, and it's extremely clear and indisputable here. You see that on any D&D messageboard, and in most D&D groups, in my experience. Just go through rules-question threads here. Very often the first person or the first few people to answer, literally don't understand the rules. Often they clearly haven't even read them. We saw this with the whole "chicken" deal with Hex recently (the initial bit, the later chicken thing was more nuanced and valid). Then other people will claim rules exist that don't to "counteract" that initial misunderstanding, or will make up totally unneeded house rules to "correct" a problem that only exists because they didn't read the RAW. In fact that's a major sub-genre of house-rules in 5E - maybe 30-50% of the house rules I've seen quoted on messageboards or reddit are to deal with problems that only exist because the person making the house rules doesn't know the real rules! I remember people saying "always play it RAW first before making house rules", and thinking this was a bit silly, but with 5E, I find it to be true, because the 5E RAW is so much more solid than any previous edition (4E was close, but 3E was a long way behind, and 2E hundreds of miles behind that!).
