I was tinkering around with a wizard subclass that combines a little bit of cleric healing with some health drain. The idea here is to let a party without a cleric have a more utilitarian wizard while leaving the “blasty” bits of the wizard bone stock. Or this subclass could work well in an “all wizards/all casters” party as something a little bit different.
Thoughts? Hit me up on twitter or shoot me an email.
You may cast Healing word as a first-level spell or lower spell level, however, you take damage equal to the amount healed by the spell. You must finish a short or long rest before using this again. This spell is not in your spellbook, cannot be cast ritually, and does not use up a spell slot when cast. You may not target yourself. If casting this spell causes you to have 0 hit points, you drop unconscious immediately at the end of the spell and must make death saves on subsequent turns.
At higher levels: At level 6 this increases to Healing word as a second-level spell or lower, at level 10 this increases to a Healing word as a third-level spell or lower. At level 14 this ability is replaced by Perfect Transference.
You may use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to equal to 1d4 + your wizard level. You must finish a short or long rest before using this again.
At higher levels: At level 6 this increases to 2d4, at level 10 this increases to 3d4, and at level 14 this increases to 4d4.

This replaces your Transference Healing ability with the following: you may cast Mass Healing Word however, you take damage equal to the amount healed by the spell (this damage is cumulative of all the creatures healed with this spell) and the amount healed is calculated differently. The amount of hit points healed per creature may be any amount of your choice less than or equal to your current hit points (excluding any temporary hit points) divided equally by the number of target creatures. If casting this spell causes you to have 0 hit points, you drop unconscious immediately at the end of the spell and must make death saves on subsequent turns. You must finish a short rest or a long rest before using this again. This spell is not in your spellbook, cannot be cast ritually, and does not use up a spell slot when cast.
