[QUOTE="HolyMan, post: 5072429, member: 84167"] Hey ML glad you are around you could start a "Let's get going" post and see who follows LOL :p:p:p:p:p But as to your post [code] BTW FM I wouldn't recommend getting that Lay on Hands flavor thing. The math speaks against it, and this is coming from a person who hates math :P Lay on Hands can be used once per day to heal up to your Paladin level x your cha modifier. In Claude's case that would be 2x3 or a total of 6 HP. At level 3, that would be 9 HP worth of healing. If you take the flavor ruling, you effectively halve your healing - out of 10 attempts at lay on hand, an average of 5 will succeed. In return you will get 2 or 3 points extra. 10 attempts at lvl 3 = 3 x 3 x 10 = 90 points of healing. 5 attempts at lvl 3 + 5 times the 3 HP flat bonus granted by the flavor = 3 x 3 x 5 + 5 x 3 = 60 points of healing. at level 10 that would be (considering you leave your CHA at 16) 10 x 3 x 10 = 300 points of healing 10 x 3 x 5 + 5 x 10 = 200 points of healing. So, it's not worth it at both low and higher levels . Not to mention that if it fails in a critical situation but rolls the 50% in an off-battle healing attempt you'd be very annoyed. [/code] I think FM is using an alternate Lay on hands ability, see the following: [code] Lay on Hands (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin with a Charisma score of 12 or higher can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. She gains a pool of healing, which allows her to heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to her paladin level × her Charisma bonus. A paladin may choose to divide her healing among multiple recipients, and she doesn’t have to use it all at once. A Paladin may fill this pool with a full minute (10 rounds) of concentration and prayer. Refreshing the pool brings the Paladin's pool of healing back up to the maximum (Paladin level *Charisma Bonus). She may fill her healing pool a number of times per day equal to 1 + half her Charisma modifier (rounded down). Alternatively, a paladin can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The paladin decides how many of her daily allotment of points to use as damage after successfully touching an undead creature. The target may make a Will save(DC 10+1/2 Paladin Level+Cha) to negate the damage. The paladin's Lay on Hands gains additional capabilities as she progresses in level as a paladin. The paladin may use all additional effects in conjunction with healing, as long as she spends enough points[/code] No need to redo the math it might get really complacated. HM [/QUOTE]
