Player Guide

Cast Mass Healing Word as a bonus action to heal up to six allies within 60 feet, preserving your action for damaging spells, attacks, or movement. Position yourself where you can see multiple wounded party members without needing to be adjacent. Use this spell to top off multiple hurt allies after large AoE damage or concentrate on offensive spells while keeping the party alive. Prioritize healing allies below half health to maximize action efficiency over healing full-health characters.

DM Tips

Track line-of-sight carefully since the spell requires seeing targets, not just knowing they exist. Consider how you balance encounter difficulty when clerics can heal multiple allies without using actions, rewarding clever positioning and tactical play.
