Not in that multi-year campaign.  Not in that 14 year old group.  Not in my personal gaming experience going back 33+ years.  IOW, our magical healing came from a bottle or a divine caster about 99.9% of the time.And within the first 10 levels of progress in that RttToEE campaign, that generally meant getting it from potions and PCs that were poor healers at best.This means, for instance, that when the party got mortally messed up by a combination of a DBF and some police robots in Expedition to the Barrier Peaks that claimed the life of THE cleric and others besides- all after the use of our potions from damage sustained in other encounters- that was it.  There was no more healing to be had, and the party had to retreat, dragging their dead behind them.Its a very different playstyle than when there are several other PCs who could say "I grab the wand, cast a few CLWs and we get back underway."Our playstyle hasn't changed.  CLWs are not a factor for us.  The element that you're looking at- my Geomancer- is inordinately good at healing lots of damage in small chunks, but its also an anomalous PC that has been inserted into an established playstyle.Had I REALLY wanted to be an ultra-healer, I'd have made the PC a pure Cleric, taken the Healing domain, and still taken Sacred Healing.</blockquote>
