[RPG] Does Green Lord’s Gift effectively make all heal spells roll max on the Warlock

dnd-5eeldritch-invocationshealingunearthed-arcanawarlock

Unearthed Arcana: Warlock & Wizard includes the eldritch invocation Green Lord's Gift for warlocks, which reads:

Green Lord’s Gift

Prerequisite: The Archfey patron

The Green Lord oversees a verdant realm of
everlasting summer. Your soul is linked to his
power. Whenever you regain hit points, you treat
any dice rolled to determine the hit points you
regain as having rolled their maximum value.

If I take this invocation, does it only benefit healing from resting and potions, or would healing spells also be maximized? For example, my Warlock is multi-classing as a Cleric, so I have healing word. If I cast healing word on myself, would the roll effectively be (4 x spell level) + modifier?

Best Answer

Yes

Using the 5E rule of specific over general, Green Lord's Gift does not call out specific ways of regaining hit points. The general case is "any". It doesn't hurt that Green Lord's Gift uses the word "any", either.


Green Lord's Gift was published as Gift of the Ever-Living Ones in Xanathar's Guide to Everything, p. 57. The prerequisites have changed, but the effect is the same:

Prerequisite: Pact of the Chain feature

Whenever you regain hit points while your familiar is within 100 feet of you, treat any dice rolled to determine the hit points you regain as having rolled their maximum value for you.
