I can  cast CSW on Bob the Wizard and heal 15 hit points, and cast the same on Frank the Fighter to heal 30-40. I'd either go with dice of healing or a static number (and I've already stated my opinion on the latter).The heal spell... eesh. That thing is flat out broken. It heals 10/level, AND cures a whole laundry list of conditions? No way. I changed it to do one of the following: heal 10/level, cure any condition except ability damage/drain or energy drain, OR heal 1 point of ability damage per caster level (max 15 points). It doesn't recover drained levels (that's what restoration is for). 5/level might be better; let's compared to CCW:Heal, CL15: 85CCW, CL15: 4d8+15 = 33 avg, 47 maxCCW, CL15 (my version): 4d8 + 7d8 + 15 = 64 avg, 103 maxAt two levels higher, that's almost reasonable. I wouldn't use it with my rules, since a spell shouldn't outclass something two levels higher without metamagic, but RAW? Works well, IMO.I'm still on the fence about heal being a static number though, since all the others are xd8+CL. On the one hand, this makes heal more useful - you know exactly how much healing you'll get - but on the other, it makes it a powerful weapon against undead (again, because it deals a huge amount of guaranteed damage). On the third hand, it's a completely different spell - it can also heal conditions and ability damage (and energy drain, by the RAW) - so I think I'd just leave it at 10/level.[/code]</blockquote>
