[QUOTE="Koewn, post: 2166324, member: 13172"] Nope, I made that distinction though in the first example. I admit it's a kludge, and is not technically creating Nonlethal damage, but this is House Rules so making sense is secondary. Why can he heal actual damage and not nonlethal damage? Got me :) We'll just assume that's how his 'type' of healing works. Like how Cure Light Wounds can't touch 'vile' damage. So, we change their name to....oh, what the hey. Damage Points, (since fatigue and exhaustion are already conditions, and I can't find a good word) and say they stack/combine with Nonlethal Damage, and define the healing-warlock's power as not affecting Nonlethal Damage. It just converts half of Hit Point damage to Damage Points. Given the relative rarity of nonlethal damage, I don't think it'd be too much a bear to keep track of. The only thing that bothers me with this is having a PC with 80 HP, and they're at 70. The healing-warlock hits them for 15 points of healing. So what's their status?
