The SendingStone review

The spell Heroism is a popular choice among bards and paladins for its ability to provide temporary hit points and immunity to fear. However, some argue that the spell's concentration requirement limits its usefulness in combat. Additionally, the fact that it only affects one target, and must be cast on the target by the caster, can make it difficult to use effectively in larger battles. Despite these limitations, Heroism remains a valuable tool for boosting the survivability and confidence of a single ally.
