[QUOTE="Sil, post: 2351494, member: 31819"] I leave you guys alone for one day and you go and clutter my thread with a friendly discussion. Well unless it really was an at will item (mental activation, free action), it still takes a standard action to activate, so is rather balanced in the way a bow of true strike would be. I can't see many players choosing to forego full attack or spellcasting to possably heal 1d8, in the middle of combat? Unless it was nessary, and if it is, then your glad to have it. And ya, it kills down time, but do you play the game to have down time? You are playing high fantasy, once you get to thoes levels, right? I have played with a bow of true strike. Cool, but not broken. Cool to comand word to get a hit next round, but situational does not begin to cover it. Hunters mercy however is more breakable, IMHO, but that is the spells fault. I just cant get my head around this idea. I must have just been lucky, but such an idea has never been expresed by any DM I have played with. Oh, and the final say lies with the player, because, again, you can take your books and go home. [/QUOTE]
