A PC can safely use 1 healing potion per ability modifier point of CON per day. After that, it becomes unsafe and bad things could happen (random die roll).2) PC healing is limited to x times per day. Cure Light cures 25%, etc. (without a ton of bonuses to this). Whether one calls it Vancian magic or Daily spells, the healer PC has limits. A sthis PC gets higher level, this PC gains more Daily spells.3) More temporary hit points and resistance should be available.4) Vigor spells and potions that result in regen 1 (or 2, etc.). Again, same limits as above. Only so many potions can be safely used, and only so many spells per day.One problem with earlier editions of the game was that a Cure Light cured an average of 4.5 points of damage. That's a good sized chunk at level 1, but hardly anything at level 12. So, healing should be percentages.Note: In 4E, the healers can heal a party of 5 close to 50 times per day at 25% to 50% per shot. That's a lot of healing. Is it too much? It depends on how much average damage monsters do.</blockquote>
