(I'm counting a surge+1d6 as 1.5 surges).Can we come up with another means of letting allies surge other than throwing tea at them?Here are some options: Move the healing potion from a high-level utility to a class ability available from 1st level. The Artificer can "bank" his life energy (one surge) in potions or objects during each short rest. These become items that can be used by anyone for the rest of the day, that heal double the amount placed therein.Maybe give them an extra surge over what you would expect from their role, like a paladin.Whenever the artificer uses an encounter or daily power that buffs a single ally, the boost of magic lets that ally spend a healing surge. When he uses a power that buffs many allies at once, everyone gains temporary HP....I'm sure there are other ways, but I like both these solutions.Ben</blockquote>
