[QUOTE="Grayhawk, post: 1803329, member: 11288"] For two reasons: First, while I didn't mind boosting the power of Remove Disease, I didn't want to jump from 1/week to 1/day (and then even boosting it over levels to several times per day) without giving something up. So I was trying to balance the extra uses by adding a cost of healing points.
