Life oracle and healing status penalty

[HumbleGamer]

How is it supposed to work with ongoing effects?

For example fast healing, regeneration, field of life or vital beacon.

It works on any single instance of healing including every instance of an ongoing effect.

I vaguely remember reading something that said that if you have a bonus to healing effects that it applies only to one of the times that it heals something. I don't remember exactly where it was though. Which means that I also don't remember if it was for a particular spell or if it was a general rule.

So it does seem a bit unfair that a status penalty would be applied to every instance of healing that you would benefit from, but that is indeed the way the rule reads.

That's a good point. I wonder if it's the same for penalties though.

I remember something similar, but I thought it was in the description of the bonus itself and not a general rule. I don't remember what it's from, though, so I can't say for sure.

Here is one. Positive Attunement - a spell specific rule.

So unless someone can find something more general, then I would have to say that any bonuses or penalties to the amount of healing are applied to all healing events even if they are from the same spell.

Which means that Life Boost would be a terrible option for healing a Life Oracle when they are under the effects of their Minor curse or greater - which is basically all of the time.

Thank you all.

I also found out the healer's blessing given from the life oracle mystery which states it just work for the first time for every given spell, but I think it can be pretty handy for a life oracle.
