Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr_Ruminahui" data-source="post: 4884635" data-attributes="member: 81104">Personally, as a DM I'm quite fond of powers that allow the party to "suppliment" characters who are running low on surges (in my group, the Palladin's lay on hands and the Cleric's cure light wounds... which he never uses).  It seems that when the party has to call an extended rest its because one player (usually the melee ranger, but sometimes the wizard) has run out of surges while the rest still have plenty.  Its nice for the party to have a mechanic that lets them push on without relegating one player to the sidelines.  Besides, I find that adventuring days seem to be short enough as it is - rarely does the party make it to a second milestone - but then again, +3 encounters are the average as the party has no shortage of healing triggers, what with 2 leaders and a palladin (in a group of 5).Rather, what healing I dislike is stuff like regeneration, which gives surgeless healing throughout an encounter, as it can make a particular encounter a cake walk where one really doesn't need to worry about running out of healing triggers.So to me, I welcome more powers like healing transference and cure light/medium/whatever - doesn't mean I won't need to look at healing transference to check it for balance in my own campaign, however.So I agree with Dracosuave that "surge transference" powers are not inherently broken - though I might feel different running a game for a party with more limited healing triggers.</blockquote>
