Solarian Revelation: Soothing Light

[MagicA]

This is a revelation idea that I had, kinda like a lay on hands for the solarian to use, but im not sure how I should go about

Idea 1
heals for: solarian level+cha modifier for cha modifier/times a day

Idea 2
heals for: Solarian level x cha modifier as a pool that restores either on a short rest when spending an additional resolve point, or only after a long rest

Im definitely making this a photon revelation, but Im not sure what kinda bonus this revelation would get doing so.

Well not number 2 because that seems a little broken.

I also don't think that Solarian should have a higher healing out put than a Mystic. I would compare to the mystic and spells already in the game.

Yeah I get what you mean, Ive run the numbers and the first 1 would be under the healing of a mystic (which makes sense) but the idea i was going for for the second one was like a pool similar to 5e paladin's lay on hands

so would the second one be more balanced if it only restored on a long rest?

I'd consider adding this is the use/day was Resolve point based.

why do you say that?
just curious hope that doesnt come across as snarky or dismissive I just want to understand your thought behind that

A couple reasons. The first being that it keeps healing from being done too often. The second, related reason is that most other hitpoint-restoring abilities, including the mystic's Healing Channel and the solarian's Glow of Life, are also Resolve-point based. The only one that isn't to my knowledge, the mystic's Healing Touch, is only usable once per day.

I think making an ally hp restoring ability that doesn't require resolve point would be making it a lot easier to do something that the game designer's didn't want to be "free" to do.

ok so we make it resolve based
how much should it heal then? and shoudl it be resorted after a short or a long rest?
