Notably, even though I can supposedly do what I want I "can't" introduce the spell into the existing game. Even though I have proof in play that it is fine, because it is imbalanced.Why does the ability to give hugs need to be explicitly stated in the rules? Heck, carrying someone IS in the rules, and that would allow you to be in the same 5 ft space. You keep acting like this was some secret hack of the game engine instead of basic logic.Right, now is the time to buff healing spells. Which is why I'm talking about buffing healing spells in the thread about the new healing spells. But you can't buff them by making them stronger? Because then the game would be lame? For reasons. Reasons that seem to be a pure white-room construct and have nothing to do with the actual buffs. Now sure, I'd like to use Hit Dice more. That is a good mechanic that needs to be leveraged. But, again, raising healing so that a single target heal can handle the one action output of a CR appropriate monster after level 3, isn't going to make the game lame or unthreatening, unless you only ever send 1 CR appropriate monster at a time after the party. And even if you had a whole party of healers, all using their actions to heal all the damage you dish out every round... so what? That's their strategy. Just like if you had an entire party of bladesinging wizards using shield and taking the dodge action to be impossible to hit. It would be a really boring fight, but I'm not going to nerf dodge or remove the shield spell because it is a potential possibility.</blockquote>
