No clerics in your campaign aren't supposed to enter the fray, unless they're dragging the wounded out to be healed?
If someone would be that extreme to me, I'd run laughing into that Terrasque.
I can understand when you don't approve of a Martyred Champion casting Ebbi's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion, but fighting for the people means getting hurt. Experiencing pain. It also means that the innocent will not have to fight, and consiquently not getting hurt. There's many ways to be a martyr, to suffer for people, and fighting for them is one of them.
You just don't make others suffer needlessly. You aim for incapacitation, or for killing quickly and rather painlessly. That means no Dread Mothers, Elder Ones, Nyarlies, Spiked Tentacles, Symbols of Pain, Using their teeth to play piano, painting elaborate patterns on their skin with a scalpel, or showing them music videos from Tokyo Hotel.
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. He wanted access to a spell that would turn him into a crazed killing machine with natural armor and an assortment of special abilities. His arguement was that he wanted to be able to do massive damage. Of course clerics can fight (why else can they use marital weapons and wear armor), but a follower of a benevolent diety shouldn't expect his god to grant a spell that allows you to rip, tear, shread, and mutilate your opponents.
