I create the spells the available spells ahead of time yes, but that doesn't stop them from taking advantage of spell research, that let them make their own spells.

The question is a combind power or not combind. The reason I say not is because it is too expensive that way for what it does. KB is more of an addendum to the heal power. The KB you are already paying for, so what is the issue. Knockback only effects undead is on it's own a limitation.
If you had a some other attack instead of heal and it had that same modifier it would be an obvious limitation. But now suddenly because you attach it to heal, it becomes an advatage, because the KB you paid for and expect to get benefit from now doesn't slap your friends in the face?
 
To be sure there's a minimal difference in options here the thing to do is keep it +0 and if I think it is a problem through play testing I can up it to +1/4.

Definitely some good ideas. I will probubly try just make it a single power healing and give the undead in my campaigns a complication (damaged by healing from a Divine source, and heals from a Negitive source.) If I find that too OP then I can go with the Combind Power with blast.
 
As far as the comment Hero System isn't Dnd or Pathfinder. That isn't helpful. Hero System is system agnostic, so frankly, its whatever I want it to be. Sorry but I get frustrated at people who say things like that, when adopting things from other games, and try to hint at they shouldn't try to adopt things from other games. You can make anything work, it just how to go about it to be more balanced for what you are doing.

That looks good. It will make it affordable to a player as it should, but not break things.
 
I was just looking to make this spell as a GM, and give it to a player as part of a reward in a Campaign. I think some times people can get into the weeds too much, so to speak. While the ideas have been great, I think It might be overwhelming to a new person to the system looking for something he can take to the bank. More of practical and clear options and less theoretical advice.

So first subtract 2, then halve the remainder.
