[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 9057658, member: 7025431"] I can see a lot of Moon Druids salivating at getting Wild Resurgence at level 5. Why use cure wounds and an action in combat when you can convert a 1st level spell slot into 15 THP (with potential for more at higher levels) at the cost of a bonus action?
