Aid

Duration: Until Long rest

Hit point maximum increased by 5hit points.
Hit point maximum increases by a further 5hit points for every Spell Slot Level above 2 used.

Classes:

Class level 3: Cleric, and Life Domain (Domain Spell)
Class level 5: Paladin

Downed allies return back to the fight and heal an additional 1 hit point.
The increase to maximum hit points from this spell is distinct from temporary hit points. In particular, these hit points can be replenished with normal healing while temporary hit points cannot. Aid also stacks with any source of temporary hit points while sources of temporary hit points cannot stack with each other.
Alternate versions granted by items:
- Khalid's Gift: Aid from Khalid's Gift and equivalent to Aid at 3rd level ( Recharge: Long rest)
- Shield of Devotion: Aid from Shield of Devotion and equivalent to Aid at 3rd level ( Recharge: Long rest)
- Absolute's Talisman: Aid from Absolute's Talisman and equivalent to Aid at 2nd level ( Recharge: Long rest)
When granted from an item, it only affects the wearer.
This is the only healing spell available to player characters that affects Undead and Constructs.
If cast by a Paladin or Cleric (non-Life Domain), this spell must remain Prepared; removing Aid from the caster's Prepared Spells list will remove the buff from all party members whom the caster applied Aid to, reverting their Maximum HP to its normal amount. If applied by using a scroll, the caster does not need to keep this spell Prepared to maintain the buff.
Multiple casts of Aid do not stack. The most recently cast instance will take precedence.
Despite the tool tip saying the spell heals you, the spell does not benefit from or proc any items or class features that boost or interact with healing, such as Disciple of Life or Ring of Salving, unless the target is at 0 HP.
The incantations for Aid are Vita excolatur ("Life is elevated") and Dum vita est spes est ("Where there is life, there is hope").
