Healer's blessing wording


Rules Questions

Sczarni

I looked through the FAQ but found nothing as an official ruling?

Yet again does Healer's blessing affect only spells with the word cure in it's title or all spells of the conjuration (healing) type with the word cure in its description?

It could make a difference, for exemple breath of life would be affected but pillar of life would not!

As far as i understand, as a DM, i could very weel go in one way or another.

Is there anything close as an official ruling for this or it's to the DM's decision. From what i understand it seems like the community tip for the "cure in the title" approach.

Healer's Blessing (Su): At 6th level, all of your cure spells are treated as if they were empowered, increasing the amount of damage healed by half (+50%). This does not apply to damage dealt to undead with a cure spell. This does not stack with the Empower Spell metamagic feat.

Spontaneous Casting: A good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time. The cleric can “lose” any prepared spell that is not an orison or domain spell in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name).

Cure Spells refers to spells with Cure, as a separate and complete word, in the title. It's the same reason you can't spontaneously convert to Breath of Life. Yea, the wording doesn't say complete and separate word, but you can't spontaneously convert "Obscure Object".

Yet another reason to rename it to be Cure Deadly Wounds.


For future reference, it helps to put a link to the ability/item you're referencing.

My understanding of the words "cure spell" in this ability would be based on the rest of the cleric's abilities; specifically, Spontaneous Casting.

"Cure spell" is defined there pretty clearly.

Yeah, if it meant conjuration (healing) it would say as much.

Well thats true!
If i'm refering to the "spontaneous casting" it is pretty clear so that would be in line for the healer's blessing ability.

sounds like RAW was enough for that case
