Buffing is nice and is probably the ability that many Leader players enjoy using the most, but healing (and to a lesser extent, additional Save acquisition) as an ability is the key ability that PCs get that NPCs generally do not. It really is the crux of the PC advantage over NPCs. It allows the PCs to maintain the Action Economy of all PCs using actions nearly every round, something the NPCs slowly lose over time.Leaders might not do the sexy damage of Strikers, but they are the engine that runs the entire team and most players do realize that they don't want to tick off the Leader. There's a certain amount of influential power gained at the table by playing a Leader. They are called Leaders for a reason, even if not all players take advantage of that.I like playing Controllers, but if I could play a Controller that could also heal (more than once per day), sweet.</blockquote>
