[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5993610, member: 54877"] Despite, or maybe in addition to, my general agreement with Kid Snide on the out of combat aspect, I do think the out of combat healing shouldn't automatically be maximized, either. To me, this part pretty much screams for a dial. To keep it simple for higher level play, I'd just say that when rolling healing dice, if a healer is present, the character gains some flat bonus to the die and/or has a floor (e.g. reroll 1s), which you can then set to your preference. Then include a big of rule advice that says if you set the floor high enough, might as well say "max very everyone". I think that is the thinking behind maximum in the first place, but the thinking has been obscured by the rule. Me, I'd tend to set a healer floor as "roll less than half max roll on a given die, get half." That respects the differences in the die sizes by class, but is easy to do at higher levels when you've got 5 or 10 or whatever number of dice that you might roll at once. It's even easy to count, once you do it a couple of times. [/QUOTE]
