Holy Smite seems cool but I'd think it would be much better as a D20 roll vs a slide. And I would absolutely remove the "must be evil" restriction. It should be usable on any enemy.

I am concerned that this will take us back down the path of LoDS, where healing was too plentiful. No problem with FA prayer and bless, but this seems a bit much...

How many times have we fought non-evil characters in a dungeon? The first fight of N1? I cant think of many over the past three years.

Holy smite sounds cool but having to slide and hit is going to make it really frustrating when a teammate sends your puck into the bumper. Maybe you'll have to slide last to just guarantee that.

If we are losing the ability to cast the restore power/spell as a FA then I'm not sure adding another use on the legendary is worth it. Can we get rid of those and add to flat healing? Or some stats that the relic probably needs?

But the ability to FA both lvl 1 and lvl 2 spells and have two mass heals with a cool ability feels much better for the legendary from my personal perspective. Much more exciting.

*edit* didn't notice the relic no longer grants the rare necklace power. So only one mass heal.

I wasn't here for the entire time LODS was rampant, but adding one mass heal and the ability to attack and heal doesn't seem to be nearly equivalent.

With a free action heal you can heal twice in the same round. Either by casting a second spell, drinking a potion, or reading a healing scroll. That's a lot of potential healing output.

Yeah that’s true but this is the legendary. There will be far less of them floating around then the UR Lenses to corrupt lower level games. I can look at the total view count and replies on our thread compared to fighters and wizards to guess that there won’t be a huge number of them.

The FA ability is on the relic not the legendary. I expect that to be quite popular.

Fair point. Then looking at it again is the legendary just holy smite and an extra set of restores?

Shit I think I’ll stick with the relic and buy 7 other PYPs. I don’t see much value in upgrading the to legendary. The others gain a huge bonus going to legendary. Look at the wizard one.

This looks good to me.

Relic: Allows Clerics to pick any 2 each round: Attack, party buff, or minor heal for pretty much the whole adventure.

Legendary adds Restore Spell/Power into the mix above.

Feels like a Widseth's Lute for Clerics.

+1, I am super excited about this! And given previous concerns about too much healing, I think it's probably good for overall game balance that it no longer grants a lot of extra spells but just helps us use up our spell allotments at a faster tempo. :)

For the legendary, it's hard to pin down precisely, but Holy Smite doesn't feel nearly as fun to me as the previous Divine Intervention. Part of what I liked was the name Divine Intervention, combined with the notion that it would be best used when things seemed really bleak and desperate (which admittedly might not happen terribly often for the sort of party that's packing class legendaries), but I also especially liked that there was a possibility of resurrection involved. I'm sure this changed for a reason, and I don't have a new specific alternative to suggest, but FWIW modifying combat slides to kill a monster better just doesn't spark joy for me in the same way.

Yes, my AC is lower than the Wizard's. No regrets!

There's a pretty big difference between this and the old LoDS behavior. This requires burning an extra spell to get that healing output. The old LoDS did not. Being able to FA heal doesn't increase overall healing amount, just how quickly you might be able to deliver it.
