The "limit" actually causes a different kind of simulation. Where as before, given enough wands/potions ... you could heal the party indefinitely, all the healing we've seen so far [note: seen so far] have been tied to the surges, and thus, a person can only be patched up so often before they need a good 6 hours of rest to "really" heal up.With the Palidan, it's a bit different ... their gods [who they seem to be tied closer to. They HAVE to pick a god and HAVE to be his allignment ... the clerics don't seem to be as bound to their dieties as much as pali's] allow them to pass their own vitality onto others. Giving up their own ability to withstand damage and stave off death over time to allow their ally to do so instead.</blockquote>
