Probably great, but not so overpowered the game needs to nerf it.Cure Wounds needs help. As an in combat spell, mind you. It appears to me a good suggestion for a CW house rule would be to increase the oomph of overleveling the spell, but not to change the baseline (the spell as cast using a level 1 slot).What I really was fishing for, however, was to see if there was design space wide enough for a third basic healing spell, either theBonus action, touch range Or theAction, at rangeHypothetical spell, to complement the existing ones. Bonus action, range (this is healing word) and action, touch (this is cure wounds).Perhaps the best houserule would be to simply switch the range of the existing two spells.That is, healing word requires touch, while cure wounds get range. Would this make them more equal, in the sense that equal means "both are actually used in combat".Thoughts?</blockquote>
