[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4143957, member: 710"] We have a party that consists of a Warlock, a Dragon Shaman, a Paladin and a Druid. The Druid is basically the only one who has to care about longer resource management, and the Dragon Shaman's healing aura ensures that we at least get our "healing to full" for half the price. Such a group can face different challenges than a classic group with a stronger focus on daily resources. Our advantage is that we don't suffer much from resource depletion. As long as we heal ourselves back, moderate encounters (around party level) don't put any strain on us. We can nearly go "forever" if put against such monsters. What we lack is the ability to "spike" our damage. We have little resources that would allow us to really go "nova" and beat an encounter above our party level. So, maybe a party with a "Heallock" might be assured of fighting forever - if only fighting equal level opponents - look at their ability to spike their damage and their healing. Wands of Cure Light Wounds, a Dragon Shaman's Healing Aura, or a Heallock can be great after combat. But can they heal enough damage in combat? If your party's Fighters is at half hit points after the first full attack of your enemy, 4d6 points of healing might just not cut it. You need a Heal spell, or remove the monster. [/QUOTE]
