I don’t get it… what’s the point of spending a surge if you get no benefit? Even the flavor text supports some healing. The power has a lot of requirements and is very situational. Consider making the effect (save ends) since it does no damage, and give a good defense bonus say Wis or Chr modifier to the ally until the end of their next turn.

I have to agree. Spending a healing surge is a big deal, and the cost does not match the reward.
However, there’s an interesting idea in there somewhere.

The prerequisites are basically structured around a cleric being played MMO style, where they do nothing BUT heal. I created this because one of my players, who plays a cleric, wasn’t happy that he could find no level 3 encounter powers he liked (that involved healing). The prerequisite of Pacifist healer means any power that allows the spending of a healing surge restores an additional 1d6 plus CHA mod HP. The blind condition on a hit from this Immediate Interrupt likely results in a hit becoming a miss, then the allied target getting 1d6 plus a Cleric’s likely high CHA mod in HP healing. I’ve seen almost zero level 3 encounter powers that allow leader classes to heal, so I believed that was a part of the balance of the 4e system. Hence, I have my friend a tad bit of healing, a chance to make a hit into a miss, and a power that he’s very proud of and uses quite often that I believe is still balanced.
