03-03-04, 03:29 PM I'm told the rationalization for spells that heal damage being Conjuration [healing] spells it that they achieve their effect by channeling positive energy from the outer planes.

The second edition school of thought of healing spells as Necromancy appeals to me more. The PHB v3.5 says that Necromancy spells "manipulate the power of death, unlife, and the life force."

Has anyone encountered any balance issues or exploits associated with houseruling healing spells as Necromantic magic?

03-03-04, 04:11 PM Clerics do pay attention to schools of magic for a fair number of reasons. Things like the Spell Focus feat or prestige classes such as the True Necromancer that stack arcane and divine caster levels for Necromancy spells are just two examples.
