Healing Word doesn't work
I play as druid Tav, and sometimes I can't use healing word even though there are spell slots remaining and there is a bonus action to be done. it's not a matter of range as I can't even heal myself. My main action in this instance is moving a moon beam, if that matters

are you sure it's healing word you have and not the other one?

hard to tell, may need a video recording to see what's the issues (assume not bug)

Should work with what you described, take a video

Do you have line of sight to the target? Are you blinded? You have to be able to see the target you are healing.

It's been a long time since I've checked, but I believe repositioning any persistent spell is a bonus action, which healing word also is.

Takes less than 5 seconds to actually check.

Well, aren't you just adorable? Considering I haven't played the game since October and have never had a reason to look anything up on a wiki it was just a guess as to what could be causing the problem.

"Should work" is of almost as much help as I provided, though I did jump in to check for myself, and it does take an action to move, and I could also cast healing word upon use.

It doesn't seem like this is the first time this particular error has arisen, though I wasn't able to repeat it myself. Assuming OP's not silenced or affected by Bone Chill (which prevents the target from receiving healing) I'm not sure what else could be causing such an issue.

Yes. Just take a screenshot, upload it and you can embed it in directly from steam. Upload is under your name on the steam menu at the top: your name, content.. this should not require a video, and that is more complicated. All we need to see is your character with blue spell slots available and the spell on the menu being unusable.

Also, mods? Most but not all weird bugs are tied to modding.
