[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5201399, member: 35909"] Maybe you meant something different, but if you're implying that the healer shouldn't have to chip in his share for the party wand, I strongly disagree. I like to just divide the cost evenly. Some people will need the wand more than others, but that's also because they're effectively taking hits for the people who don't need it. And yeah, a healer can provide his own healing hypothetically. Most likely, he'd rather not spend a spell slot to heal himself when the wand's there, though. And even if he is fine with it...I think absorbed damage is a "party resource." If he doesn't need to heal himself much, it's because someone else is taking the hits. In fact, if I was a melee warrior in a party with a cleric who refused to pay his share on a healing item because he "didn't need it for himself," I'd be less inclined to stand between him and a monster. I mean, he can heal himself, right? Why effectively waste the party's investment on each charge of the wand by taking the hits when that little bugger is self-sufficient anyway? [/QUOTE]
