[QUOTE="IceFractal, post: 4484486, member: 27704"] Why is this suddenly an issue? Clerics have been able to heal outside of combat in [I]every version of D&D[/I], as well as many other RPGs. In fact, healing outside of combat is often the preferable option (it certainly was in 3E). And it's not like you get unlimited healing out of this, because you're still limited by your healing surges. And about "the gods are angry" ... 1) At least in the PoL and FR settings, the gods are specifically more distant than they were previously, and less likely to micromanage mortal affairs. 2) What kind of god gets angry at a Cleric for using their healing ability to heal people? People who are in a dangerous situation, often because they are doing heroic things? Unless your Cleric worships the god of "impatience and short-sighted stingyness", or the god of "walking around bleeding builds character", I don't think you're acting against their wishes by doing this.
