While I am not against MC'ing a healer it nets you 3.5 chars as neither of the characters played by the MCer will be nearly as effective as if they are playing only one. It can be done we played a campaign where we had 2 players we played a Their and a fighter/mage, We chose our battles, avoided combat when we could, and used traps and corridors to our advantage to contain the monsters. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:47 | comment | added | Sam Hoice | @DForck42 My understanding of death saves is that if you succeed, you are stable but unconscious (at 0hp), and if you crit, you can spend a healing surge and come back. Of course, three fails and you die. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:45 | comment | added | Sam Hoice | @Chad, I understand the sentiment. However, in a party of three one role will always go uncovered. They have a defender, a striker, and a controller. While you could argue that the leader is more important, its probably more important that each player gets to play a character they enjoy... I think as the level I will encourage them to multiclass one character to cover part of that role. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:45 | comment | added | DForck42 | hmm, i'm going to have to read the rules agian, because we always played that if you can get a 10 or higher target player can spend a healing surge (which is an auto for clerics pretty much). | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:40 | comment | added | user2015 | I do not mean to sound cruel but... Maybe if you let one die off they will decide to take a healer next time. You are trying to save a party that broke a basic rule of adventuring. Ill bet you dont kill off partymembers that decide to wander off alone in a dungeon either. | |

Added unconscious back into the actual question for clarity. Left edits to the body.

| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:27 | comment | added | Sam Hoice | @dpatchery Actually, if you're dying, you can spend a healing surge on a crit on the save. If you're unconscious but not dying (after a successful heal check), THEN you're out of options. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:27 | comment | added | Sam Hoice | @DForck42 What I read is that you can spend your second wind, but if you've already spent it, it doesn't help. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 13:48 | comment | added | DForck42 | i htink you can use first aid to allow a player to spend a healing surge, but i'll have to look in the books to make sure. | |

| Aug 5, 2011 at 12:01 | comment | added | dpatchery | I edited the question to use "dying" instead of "unconscious". The conditions do commonly go hand-in-hand, but you can be unconscious and not dying. In that case the rules you are asking about wouldn't apply. | |

Reworded to use dying instead of unconscious
