It seems underpowered...by at least 3 spell levels. Give it a party buff effect, or cast it as a swift action to fit in with the 'Burst' concept.


You are kidding, right?

Not easy to get sacred bonuses. These stack, don't forget. Also, built in light spell plus up to +21 HPs on your whole party for 1/round per level?

Seems just about right.


Eh, I agree it seems a bit underpowered for a 5th level spell. As a 4th level, it would work.

Considering Aid is a level 2 spell, a spell that's similar to Mass Aid (so to speak) probably doesn't belong there.

I think the general idea is that Mass XYZ should be 3 or 4 levels higher than XYZ, although using that logic you end up with some less-than-popular spells like Mass Fox's Cunning (which I'd never waste a level 6 spell slot on).


This is also comparable to Greater False life with an area of affect plus a combat modifier. GFL is 4th. This does more than GFL and is therefore a higher level spell.
