Incoming Healing Boon!

mitchrapppcp

I have had people ask about how the incoming healing Boon works! They wanted to know if they choose this boon when life steel kickes in or a DC casts a healing spell would they receive anything extra from having this Boon.

For the time being; I told both of them no. I
told them it sounded like the incoming healing bonus becomes active from an outside force applies a heal.


Any thoughts or confirmation on this boon!

Incoming Healing refers to healing spells

If I recall correctly:

Incoming healing is a stat with diminishing returns. The sweet spot on this stat is right about 800, or approximately +8 to +9%. So if your peoples already have an incoming healing stat of 800+, the added +400 stat will provide a negligible benefit. There is also a Tyranny of Dragons campaign boon for +10% incoming healing, which is amazing. This provides a flat additive increase of 10% to any heal you receive. This means it affects both third party heals to your character AND first party healing, such as your own health regeneration and life steal.

Overall incoming healing is an additive combination of boons, regeneration, racial ability (Dragonborn), and the incoming healing stat itself.

Short answer, tell your peoples YES.

I'm actually pretty sure that secondary sources that grant an extra percentage of a stat like the +10% incoming healing bonus, are not affected by the diminishing returns while the stat itself is affected.
Though, I have absolutely no idea how it is with the bonus provided by secondary stats like regeneration.

@kuero21 the incoming healing stat is subject to diminishing returns.

You are correct: the +10% incoming healing boon is a flat additive increase to your overall incoming healing %.

I have not seen anything disproving that 400 regeneration stat = +1% incoming healing.

So if you have 400 regeneration (total) and the ToD incoming healing boon, that's 1+10=11% incoming healing bonus.

Add dragonborn 11+5=16% incoming healing bonus.

Add whatever % from the incoming healing stat itself, let's say 8%, and you now have 16+8=24% incoming healing bonus.

Etc.
