Remember that the way damage and healing is balanced, actually healing your party directly in combat is the weakest thing you can do. Healing Word on a downed ally is worth doing.
Cure Wounds is a trap spell. It doesn't heal enough to be worth the spell slot.
Aid is an amazing spell.
Damage prevented is way more impactful than damage healed.
But the way healing works, if a player is left at 1HP, it's worse to heal them than to do damage. In general if player's health plus your average heal amount for a spell is less than the average damage of the monster, don't heal them as it is a waste of your action.
Example, Billy the fighter has 6 Hit points remaining. Your cure wounds does 1d8+4, which is an average of 8.5. So his effective total is 14.5. If the monster damage is anything above that, healing Billy will not save him. When the monster attacks it'll knock him out even if you healed him, thus healing him is equal to not taking an action but still burning a spell slot.
Also, Spirit Guardians is a spell you'll get at 5th level. Aid you'll get at 3rd.
I did heal one lady with uhh....something. i cant find my actual abilities since the updated character sheet is only physical and not on me, but here's something??
Cleric (Life Domain), level 1:
Spellcasting (Cleric 1, PHB 58) [3 cantrips known]
I can cast prepared cleric cantrips/spells, using Wisdom as my spellcasting ability
I can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for my cleric spells
I can cast my prepared cleric spells as rituals if they have the ritual tag
Bonus Proficiency (Life Domain 1, PHB 60)
I gain proficiency with heavy armor
Disciple of Life (Life Domain 1, PHB 60)
Whenever a 1st-level or higher spell I cast restores HP to a creature, it heals more
The creature regains an additional 2 + spell level (SL) worth of hit points
Note that "X/SL" on the spell page means per spell slot level above the spell's normal level
oh damn i think i have cure wounds, im not sure tho. we got BLASTED and i had to heal myself as well so im currently out of spells i think? i need to nap or something before i can use more.
woah....ok thanks, i think im understanding! its complicated but we haven't actually fought anything yet so i figure it wont be THAT crucial. plus 1 gnome guy on our team is kinda op so hopefully we wont have too much trouble.
