[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 7707406, member: 6787650"] It's very close to a real example. In real life, that would be a Paladin of Devotion 9/Chtulock Warlock 2/Wild Sorcerer 4 named Cranduin the Lesser, using DMG spell points. I just left off the warlock part because I didn't want to derail discussion into the merits and evils of warlock dips on paladins. My core point was that, as mentioned, Cranduin does not actually ever heal thousands of HP per session because the party doesn't lose thousands of HP. (And he [I]is[/I] in fact the backup healer, not the primary healer. The primary healer is a bardlock. The main difference between them is that the bardlock can heal more types of problems including petrification and intellect devouring; the bardlock heals fewer HP per spell point expended, but he has more total spell points so in that sense it's a wash.) RE: chickens, your DM will probably [I]love[/I] it if you buy a flock of chickens and put them on a long multi-leash or in cages, and cart them around with you to sacrifice in your grotesque Death Monk voodoo rituals. He will have so much fun with those chickens. You're right that those questions do occur, but they get resolved in play and it's a blast. In fact, I highly recommend trying out a chicken-flock at least once, for [I]any[/I] player, whether or not their PCs have weird life-draining powers. [/QUOTE]
