I'm considering ditching the heal-on-exit and changing the name to "safer dialogs" instead.

The mod is intended to address an interface annoyance, and it takes two primary forms:

• You get interrupted by a single straggler that would normally pose no threat, but have to abort your reading/enchanting/reward selection to take care of that one mob so it doesn't eventually kill you.
• You're in the middle of a maelstrom of mobs and accidentally click on an NPC, opening up a dialog that requires a response before you can actually return to defending yourself, taking damage the whole time.

These events do add to the immersion, but make it all about the monsters at the expense of a smoothly flowing game. And you potentially miss out on some items and enchanting, not to mention the story, which is no fun.

The mod works by temporarily making your character an invalid target and preventing you from being reduced below 1 HP once that dialog opens. In the second scenario you could still take a lot of damage from spell effects and missiles that had already fired, so it's very possible to exit the dialog with next to no health.

My reasoning was to avoid the scenario where you return to combat and die instantly anyway; to provide a little extra confidence on leaving the conversation that you can deal with what's out there.

Now I'm afraid it might be tempting to abuse NPCs and quest items as free healing points, and that even the "natural" healing may subtly change the game balance.

Any opinions? Hardcore players?
