Why Infernal Healing is banned in my table

[Secret Wizard]

I am not keeping track of what source the damage came from to see if this can heal it or not.

[kyrt-ryder]

I just banned that detail of it. Don't care. A simple 1 hit point recovered per round for one minute. Bam done.

[Lorewalker]

Do those damage sources come up enough at your table to warrant such a reaction?

[TriOmegaZero]

No, they do not.

[Haladir]

It's not banned at my table, but using this spell has its price...

Cue the distant sound of diabolical laughter.

[TOZ]

Hey, as long as your players like that kind of game.

[Blueskier]

What's this? Has there been an errata or faq?

[Serisan]

It's rare that an opponent has a silver/mithral weapon or does good-aligned damage via weapon or spell. That said, how funny would it be to throw that one at players? "These guys all had alchemical silver warhammers."

[TriOmegaZero]

I was worried that my dhampir warpriest was going to have to heal the guy he just hit with his silversheen scythe. Thankfully, it didn't come to pass that way.

Yay, more expansive loot to sell. Also, -1 to all the enemies' damage rolls.

... Am I the only one that houserules it to last 11 rounds (66 Seconds)?

Well you would just take it out of the other wealth that the opponents may have had (like gold pieces, gems etc...) to keep the WBL consistent, if that is something you are worried about

The damage penalty is only for slashing or piercing, and a warhammer is a bludgeoning weapon.

[Bandw2]

you know why it's banned as a player option at my table?

I use SoP... also no one every wants to play a wizard or anything with access to it's spell list, so it'll be banned up until someone wants to player a wizard or a sorcerer or something.

WTF? I read that discription multiple times and honestly never saw that limitation.

I think my brain is passive agressive against me.

You learn something new every day, I guess. Plenty of times I've had to be corrected by my players.

I blame the fact that it is an exception by omission. It doesn't say 'only' to flag you to the fact that bludgeoning is an exception. But that's why my characters carry silver hammers and call them Maxwell.
