B: I don't quite comprehend the link you're making between "Clerical healing must be necessary, but you can also play just fine without one," because if clerical healing is necessary, than you can't really play just fine without one, and if you can play just fine without one, then it is not necessary.
BINGO - Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Now tell us what KM gets, Johnny! A round trip ticket and all expenses paid trip to Makesenseville!!!!
The arguments I've seen seem to be pulling in both directions with no sense in between. If something is necessary, then not having it is going to have an impact. If something is NOT necessary, then not having it should have little to no impact.
