Magic items: Some allow you to heal nearby characters.

Specific powers: A lot of classes can heal other with at least one power.

By mid-levels you should be able to retrain out of this.

Healing skill: Being trained in Healing can turn a difficult check into an easy one at low levels.

Multiclass: every character should be able to find a suitable leader class to multiclass into.

It is better to restore a dying comrade to fighting strength than to inflict damage upon the enemy.

I feel that nearly all non-striker characters should have some form of healing available. If this is occurring during combat, your group may want to ensure that most characters are able to heal others. If they do have a healing surge left, it is a mere DC10 to allow them to use their Second Wind DDI.īoth of these checks are very makeable for even 1st level characters and should be attempted whenever there isn't immediate danger to the conscious character in my opinion. If successful, no further death saves need to be made. Even if a character has no healing surges left, any other character can try a Heal check (DC15) to Stabilize him.
