Description
A wave of healing energy washes over one creature you can see within range. The target regains all its Hit Points. If the creature has the Charmed, Frightened, Paralyzed, Poisoned, or Stunned condition, the condition ends. If the creature has the Prone condition, it can use its Reaction to stand up.
Doungim Lore
School Fit
Enchantment spells touch the place behind the eyes. They cannot move a target's body if the target has no body to move — which is why so many bypass undead and constructs. Power Word Heal is Enchantment because the spell rewrites a sentient creature's intent or perception. At Power Word Heal's level, a single cast can decide a fight or an arc.
Class Fit
- Bard: College of Valor and College of Swords Bards lean toward melee — Power Word Heal earns its slot if it works inside or around weapon-attack turns. Power Word Heal reaches 60 feet, which lets the caster stay clear of the front line.
- Cleric: Wisdom is the Cleric's casting stat, and the DC scales with proficiency bonus plus Wis modifier — Power Word Heal is castable at the Cleric's normal DC. The 60-foot range on Power Word Heal leaves room for the caster to stay in the back line.
