[QUOTE="Dinian, post: 5148470, member: 89390"] As it says in the title, myself and 4 friends are completely new players (we played our first game tonight), and ran into a question about Healing Word. Here is my questions, I will try to give as many details as possible, if I am not detailed enough please let me know. Dinian, a swordmage with 26 Max HP a surge value of 6 and 8 surges per day, is in a fight with 2 kobolds, one of which is in front of him, the other of which is flanking him on his left. Relaeha, a cleric, stands 2 squares behind him. All PC and NPC's currently are at full health. Initiative rolls are made. Dinian rolls a 19, the two kobolds roll a 15 and an 8, and Releaha rolls a 3. Dinian attacks the kobold in front of him but misses. The kobold in front of him attacks and hits for 8hp. The kobold flanking on his left attacks and hits for 8hp. Dinian is now at 10 HP. Relaeha casts healing word. Here comes the question: When Relaeha casts healing word which of the following happens, or does something entirely different happen: A. Dinian spends 1 of his 8 healing surges to heal for 6 AND then rolls an additional 1d6 and adds that total to his current HP. (This is what I think happens) B. Dinian has a choice. If Dinian does NOT spend one of his healing surges he only heals for 6hp. If he DOES spend one of his healing surges he heals for 6hp + 1d6. C. Something completely different. If situation A is correct what happens if a priest cast healing word on a recipient that has no more healing surges. Is the target an invalid target and the DM lets the priest know? Does the spell fizzle? What happens. Thanks in advance for your answers to what I am sure is a rather mundane question on these forums! [/QUOTE]
