[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 5941801, member: 3987"] Which will just lead to [B]Healer's Touch[/B] being a mandatory feat for the cleric (or other healer if such exist). Which will remove the random element. Only after about 3rd level does it start bringing back just over half. At first level on average it will bring back less than a 1/3rd. Eventually at higher levels on average it would bring back nearly all of them.
