And the sharing of external healing resources is one of those places whether the resource be potions, wands of cure wounds, staves of healing, or pots of Keoghtom's ointment. My prediction is that there will be a number of items appearing in games/modules/supplements that allow healing even when the character is out of healing surges.Speak of Keoghtom's ointment...Though a lot more expensive than a healing potion, toss in a few pots of that somewhere. You can use it to regain a healing surge. It fits in with the healing potion motif and is a quickly consumable resource that will have little effect on long term campaign balance.</blockquote>
