Still, it seems reasonable to say "keep track of how much you lay-on-hands, and you can never exceed your (boosted) Cha max during a day".  If you want to keep track of this as negative healing points, so be it. Anything else just looks silly.  And as the Minister of Silly Walks is out for the day, we'll have none of that here!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
