Question about Paladin Feat (Greater Mercy)

[Matt Coles]

I have a question about the Feat: Greater Mercy, and I would appreciate any input.

According to the rulebook, and I quote "When you use your lay on hands ability and the target of that ability does not have any conditions your mercies can remove, it instead heals an additional +1d6 points of damage."

Does that mean that it heals an additional 1d6 points of damage per condition that isn't in effect, or does it mean that it heals an additional 1d6 points of damage total, regardless of how many conditions are not in effect?

If the target has 0 conditions or effects, it regains an extra 1d6 HP.

It's alright for a feat, but not great. It's just an extra 3 health most of the time you use LoH, which is.. meh.

Okay. That's what the rest of my group said, but I wanted to get a second (outside) opinion. I misunderstood it when I initially took that Feat. Although I probably would still have taken the Feat, even with it not being quite as powerful a boost as I had thought, because Greater Mercy is still a pre-requisite of Ultimate Mercy, and I definately want that at the first opportunity.
