[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6593442, member: 2011"] Actually, we do not have a variant human using an optional feat to heal 10d6+10*HD for 5gp. Nobody in our group took that feat. Maybe you have me confused with someone else. What we have is damage mitigation. One PC with Heavy Armor Master plus Parry plus Second Wind plus Sentinel. Another heavy armored PC with +1 AC ability, shield, and dueling feat (I forget the name, but +prof to AC once per turn). Two more PCs in heavy armor, one with the +1 AC ability. Yes, we have a lot of PCs who can heal, but they tend not to do so. It gives them options without necessarily using up resources. Our party is more geared around having 3 to 4 guys (out of 7) up front who have really high AC plus buffs holding off enemy forces while the back ranks help decimate them, combined with having a lot of PCs with spell casting capabilities. If the PCs rarely get hit or they control the battlefield, they rarely have to heal. 5E allows for this option and in fact, encourages it. Having 7 PCs results in its own set of problems, but it does allow me as DM to throw higher CR foes at the group, and to have things like trapping/hindering/harming environments where 4 PCs would have a real tough time finding enough actions to help each other out and still get a lot of attacks in. Problem? No. The other PCs being more effective each. Yes. [/QUOTE]
