Soothing Touch

Description

A healing cantrip for the long walk between rests. You lay a hand on a wounded creature and murmur the old words of the abbey infirmaries, and the worst of the pain loosens its grip.

A creature you touch that has at least 1 hit point, and no more than half its hit point maximum, regains hit points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of 1). A creature that regains hit points from this spell can't do so again until it finishes a short or long rest. The spell has no effect on constructs or undead.

This spell can't restore a creature at 0 hit points; for that, a caster still needs Spare the Dying, a healer's kit, or a real healing spell.

Cantrip Upgrade. The hit points regained increase by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (modifier + 1d4), 11th level (modifier + 2d4), and 17th level (modifier + 3d4).
