-The spell grants 2d6+8 hit points, resulting in a total between 10 and 20 h.p.

-'''Aid''' allows the caster to [[Healing|heal]] or bestow additional [[Hit Points|hit points]] (h.p.) to another creature, who must be of the same [[Religion|religion]] as the caster.

+'''Aid''' is a spell that allows the caster to [[Healing|heal]] or grant temporary [[Hit Points|hit points]] (h.p.) to another creature of the same [[Religion|faith]] as the caster. The magic is inherently selfless, as it cannot be used to benefit the caster personally and must be bestowed upon another.  If the recipient has suffered [[Damage (hit points)|damage]], the spell functions as a restorative, replenishing lost hit points like a healing spell. However, unlike [[Cure Light Wounds (spell)|cure light wounds]], aid is limited to a single recipient per casting.
