[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5884455, member: 35909"] In games I've played, enemies getting healed happens all the time. Especially at higher levels. Just had a fight in our level 17 gestalt game where the enemy cleric//Something? had Fortunate Fate (level 7 spell; acts like a contingent Heal spell) [b]and[/b] an actual Contingency Heal spell up as buffs! Even at low levels, healing has been one of the best uses for minions of the BBEG. He's much stronger than them, so keeping him alive longer is thus much more valuable than anything offensively they could be doing. [sblock]And I use healing all the time for NPCs when I DM. Heck, I managed to stretch one battle against a small group of evil clerics into a 15 round grind fest by keeping them all constantly getting healed by each other and rendering focus fire tactics basically pointless. It was a lot of fun...for me. :D[/sblock] Maybe my experiences are different than most others'. :) My group has embraced a lot of the splat book immediate/swift action healing options that make in combat healing more valid of a choice, too. And I think this hypothetical spell should absolutely be evocation. [/QUOTE]
