Notes

• Downed allies return back to the fight and heal an additional 1 hit point.
• Alternate versions granted by items:
  • Khalid's Gift
    •  Khalid's Gift: Aid: Cast as a level 3 spell ( Recharge: Long rest).
  • Shield of Devotion
    •  Shield of Devotion: Aid: Cast as a level 3 spell ( Recharge: Long rest).
  • Absolute's Talisman
    •  Absolute's Talisman: Aid: Cast as a level 2 spell ( 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 instance cast most recently 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.
• The incantations for Aid are Vita excolatur ("Life is elevated") and Dum vita est spes est ("Where there is life, there is hope").
