I too am struggling to see what the OP is trying to achieve or communicate.I am so confused.
Why is the Bard considered an original spellcaster? If the Bard is, why not the Paladin and Ranger (all three got their spells separately).
... SOME clerics are sort sort of necromancers. Many aren't at all!... and isn't the Cleric some sort of a Necromancer , with reference à la Hokuto Kenshiro ( Ken le Survivant ) , as in the Movie " Fist Of The North Star " ?
sorry, I was thinking that, to obtain audience it was smarter to "split topic"
also, I'm a little frenchie with troubles in english use
so I beg your pardon, please don't remove my account
