[QUOTE="Zephyrus, post: 1888367, member: 8728"] You could say that Aid is 2nd level because effectively you could say that the character is gaining an extra HD (potentially you could even argue 2 HD in the case of D4 HD classes). Tac onto that the +Level which will be at least +3. A 3rd level Cleric casting it on themselve could almost be considered 4HD (even better cause the BAB from 3rd to 4th with the Avg. BAB is doesnt change). Thought of in terms of a extra HD its power as a 2nd level spell seems more recognizable (at least to me). As someone said earlier. put it on your wizard or sorcerer and it could right well save them from getting killed, expecialy at low levels. Wizards and Sorcerers are usually under 20 HP on the high end at 3rd level (heck, pending their CON score they might have 15). Where-as the rest of the party will concievably have as much as twice as many. The benefit of having an extra 7-8 HP can be the ability to survive an extra attack allowing them to step back and blast whoever just hit them or at least flee. [/QUOTE]
