[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 4151268, member: 5100"] I'd have to look up the previews to be sure, but I was under the impression that the clerical healing ability healed 1d6 hp [u]and[/u] allowed the target to optionally spend a healing surge. So, clerics can still heal NPCs. They just don't cause the Die Hard second (third, eighth, etc.) wind for NPCs. I fail to see either support for the original claim or anything unreasonable in the rules as revealed. If you also assume that higher level clerical healing grants 2d6, 3d6, etc. in addition to the healing surge (which seems at least as reasonable as the inverse assumption), things are even better. You end up with 4e healing being just a few points worse than 3e (d6 vs. d8 and no +level pips) for NPCs, but with an added "heroic" bonus for those who are both most likely to need it and are supposed to be more heroic. Once again, I'm not seeing an issue with this. Certainly, there is no grounds for the sky falling. [/QUOTE]
