Do commoners get healed?

[Jack Nimble]

In my settings, no one gives a damn about the commoners, so the question, as unimportant as it is, is "no." Healing's for important people (but it usually isn't sold per se, either), and if you're a commoner getting healed, it's because you're lucky enough to live in a community that has a cleric and is small enough that everyone in it counts as "important."

Yeah, I can see that. And when they storm the castle with pitchforks, well, that's what area-effect spells are for, right?
