Request For Feedback - New Rules - Healmancy
The next rules revision is still some time away (we'll playtest at least one more scenario with the current rules set), but I wanted to start getting feedback on changes I'd like to make. I'll start with a revised Healmancy. The Hits on mounts and heavy bodyguards demonstrate that hits can get much higher than the original Healmancy was created to deal with, and potions needed a bit more work. Wards and Healing scale with level now, so that new spells grant extra ability instead of just more healing/protection. Since I think that Wards should be preparation instead of in-combat, I've nerfed them a bit by requiring the target to be adjacent, so they don't act like permanent HP Buffs. Now that Status effects are more common, I've given the Healmancer the ability to remove them at range and protect against them. Finally, since Healers don't always have to use their abilities to help, I've added some offense into the mix, but based it on the Caster's level and the target's health instead of the Caster's Combat score. Let me know what you think.
Once these rules go into effect, Triage and Junetta will be able to reselect spell choices but stats will remain the same.
Healmancy
Wards last until all granted damage has been absorbed. Only 1 Ward can be in effect on a target at a time. If target receives a ward when a ward is already in place, target chooses which ward remains.
Bonus: Caster who specializes in Healmancy can create a Potion for any single-target healing or warding Healmancy spell they know. Potions cost 8x the spell's casting cost in Juice. This cost can be paid for over multiple turns.

[Requries Revitalize] Burnout (1 AP) - Caster reduces their current and maximum Hits by gaining a -1 Hit Burnout modifier and immediately gains 4 Juice. Caster can exceed their normal maximum Juice. Burnout modifiers last until the start of the next turn. Burnout does not require an action to use. Juice gained from Burnout must be immediately applied to a spell, and cannot be used for potion creation.
[Requires Revitalize] Damage Ward (1 AP) - Absorbs up to (4 * Caster Level) damage on 1 Adjacent target. (1 Juice / 4 Hits)
